| Review: |
this is a great field with great people and an overall fun atmosphere. they have 4 feilds open for play right now 3 woods ball courses and a hyper ball course. Fort apatche: one team starts in the fort the other attacks. oger there are a buntch of spools to hide behind. hyper ball is hyper ball fast and fun.
the manager bear is a great guy allways willing to help or find someone that can help you if something goes wrong with your marker. There are regulars and refs out there willing to help you with your game and will most likly get out there and play with you if you want a good time i suggest trying that out they will push you to play harder than you ever thought you could you'll find yourself sliding running and ducking faster then you ever have. Not to worry there is allways intermidiate players there if you dont feel like geting blown away your first time out .
they are currently working on a new field that will conbine with two of the other fields to create a senario game.
now for the price well its really not that bad $25 covers you all day feild all day air 500 pb a marker goggles and pod pack. which is a good deal and if you are military, police, or fire you get a discount on that price
so all around this is a great place for beginers to people who have played for years. So if you are looking for something to do on saturday try this place out its great you'll have a blast |

OK here is the full deal:
MPP is a great park with large fields and a fair number of staff. The owner is funny and a great guy. The reffs are players as well and know what its like to be called on an unfair shot and have no problem sliding in and checking out whoever during a game. The shop isn't that big but its the people that make the experience everything. From the minute you walk in the 'shop gypsies' will take care of you in whatever you need. Then after a rundown of MPP rules and such, if you're new, then you get to pick any field and go and play. It's that simple. You can choose to play with just your party, or you can mix and match with other walkons. If you can't find a reff then someone in the shop will radio a reff just for you. The guns are always clean and the prices are low and there are no 'special' fees that you have to worry about. The fields are kept well and saftey is a top priority as well as having a good time. When you're out there its a great experience that is well worth it. This is the place to be. I'd never go anywhere else but MPP. |

| Review: |
Okay so this is Missions Park Paintball wrapped up into a brief review...
Owner- Tony Reza, great guy knows what he's talking about and is always one to give advice
Fields- Never heard one complaint just anticipation to when new fields are opened
Shop- uh the shop is modest but considering we can get you anything you need for cheaper than anyone else pretty much
Refs- our refs are on the team, they know what it's like to get a bad call so they try their best to prevent that rare occurence and i mean rare occurence at missions
Shop Staff- Quick, accurate, and... fat speaking about me and bear of course he's the guy behind the computer that u talk when u want to play up there, I'm the guy sitting behind the table fixing something while i'm up there or just giving help where needed
and most importantly the crapper... lol..kidding of course but it's a porta john for now it's kept clean i'm not sure who does the cleaning though it is kept clean
Why should you come play at missions... B/c you'll realize ur wasting ur money at other places not thats it's not good to mix it up on the occasion you just wont see me playing anywhere else besides missions or at another field during a tourny |

We had a great time! Staff was great, refs were great also. I took my son and his friends for a birthday party. It was the second time for all of us to play.
The courses all required different strategies. There were more than 60 people at the park of all skill levels. Everybody was friendly and played fair.
We got there at 9:30 and played to 3:30 and had a blast. I highly recommend this park. We will be going back.

| Review: |
First I got to comment on the fields safety -This field is one of the safest I have been to.The refs are great and know what there doing .The fields are really cool to. However the shop is not that cool, I suggest you buy your paint at phoenix (nearby)before playing. Because the paint ( exodus ) has a clear fill that the refs sometimes miss.And I Like to have a choice of paint ,not just one kind. Another thing,When we were playing in the field all the way in the back I had moved up to the side bordering the other field when I started taking fire from players on the other field....All that separates These two fields are a piece of string. I hope that missions can improve on these things because then they would definitely be the best field around.
(EDIT) I just visited their website and saw that they now have better paint ,thats great and I will be at the field any day now. Also saw that they are cheaper than phoenix.| Last edited on Tuesday, May 29th, 2007 at 8:06 am PST |

| Review: |
Price:Well rounded prices.
Fields: the fields are very good, very friendly atmosphere, the refs know what they are doing, they have wood speedball and even an air course.
I would recommend this to beginners, and experienced people. The fields are very well rounded.The people that work there are very nice, and they are big on safety, which is a good thing. The players there vary from no experience to tournament players. I would recommend this to anyone over rockdivers or fps. |

Missions is NOT on US 72 - you need to turn off 72 on NEWBY road (HA-HA!) and then follow the road for @ 1 mile - the park will be on your left. |

Outstanding staff & refs. GREAT park. I am a ad that plays PB with his son (14) and I have no problems dropping my son off for the day here. Tony & Bear are great and all the staff at the park are super!
Oh yeah, the fields are great too! Hyper, woods, scenario - it's all here - 5 fields now and the owners plan on more over the fall & next year.
definitely a 10 out of 10 star range! |

| Review: |
Great fields, good prices, good equipment and best of all, nice people.. My first time to go to Mission was today. The air ball field was not up but from what I played on, it was a blast..
Another great aspect is that there are always people to play with there.. My cousin and I went today and we were afraid there wouldn't be enough people to play with.. There are plenty of walk-on's and we got in a lot games.. Highly Recommended!! |

| Review: |
The refs at the fields are very nice. There services are cheap and thorough. they do not provide food but the have the numbers of a few delivery places which they will gladly give to you. there hours of operation are lenghty. i was really impressed with this place when i first went there for a friends birthday and have loved it and i keep going back to it |

| Review: |
Missions Park Paintball is the best field I have played at yet. The owner is very friendly and so is the staff. They are very coordinated. I was impressed by the constant and efficient communication that was kept. The refs were very good and sometimes played with us. They were VERY polite and enforced the safety rules. Safety there is first and foremost. Each weekend(or about each weekend) the owner takes a group picture of some of the walkons and guests and posts them on the website. This week was no different. The entire faculty is professional, down-to-earth, and are always willing to help. I could say more, but I do need to talk about the fields.
Okay, the fields. Man it was awesome! Here's a list:
1. Hyperball --- totally cool. You can have a seven on seven easy, or even a ten on ten.... though it'd be a little crowded. The grass is really good and the center X bunker is cool. The only time this field is unevenly setup is when the sun's going down and blinding one side of the field.....but you could wear sunglasses or tinted lens.
2. Airball --- 7-man airball field. It is great. They keep it very clean. The setup is very even and is just like a mirror image if cut in half. It is nice and large and lots of fun.
3. Poplar Village --- it's a woods field. Now, when I'm going to a field, I'm usually not going for the woodsball fields. However, I really enjoyed this field.(Actually, I even enjoyed my bruises.) This field was thickly wooded and had wooden fences for bunkers. It's a large field and requires(and teaches) the need of communication. It is sometimes cut smaller to leave another field of just spindle-wheels(those round wooden bunkers). That too is a fun field.
4. Fort Apache --- The one field I didn't get to play on since some of us at the field couldn't get a really big game going on it. It has a fort made of two 2-story buildings and a wooden fence connecting the two. Outside the fort is the woods with well-beaten paths and spindle-wheels. The trick is to stay small and to keep moving....and not to hit your head on the entry to one of the 2nd story huts(I'm 6'3"). Looks like fun, especially if you like scenario games.
5. The Gauntlet --- Speaking of scenario games. This is, as of yet, unfinished but is scheduled to be ready for play on April 8, 2006. There will be two teams, high and low ground, secret missions, and rogue snipers. Yes, I said rogue snipers...oh, and you have to face the gauntlet in order to complete your mission. We'll have to wait to find out just what the gauntlet is.
6. X-ball --- saving pennies. The people at Missions Park are saving their money to build a regulation size X-ball field behind the proshop within the upcoming months.
The proshop is open Thurs - Fri 5:30 - 7:00
Sat 9:00 - 5:00
Sun - Wed Closed
The field is open Thurs - Fri by Appointment Only
Sat 9:00 - 5:00 Open Play
Sun - Wed Closed
Okay, I've been here typing this for an hour and I'm tired. I am so sorry if I left anything out. I'm definately coming back here. I hope this helps and I highly recommend giving Missions Park a chance. You won't be dissapointed. With a price of only $20(+tax) for play and air, it is a great deal.
I'm not sure what else to say. Uuuhh....GO MISSIONS PARK PAINTBALL!!!| Last edited on Friday, April 14th, 2006 at 4:24 pm PST |
