ok, well this field is up by epik so if you ever go there and deicde you dont want to play at epik that day then you should def. try OCP.The refs here are awesome, they always make sure everybody has their mask on and they dont really get mad and yell easily.One of the reffs, timmy, just got his new ego6 and my pmr broke that day, he spent an hour fixing it and when it wouldnt chrono he let my borrow his ego for the day. its a more woods ball orientated field, but they have a city and a hyperball field also. Its usually about 1/2 speed ballers and 1/2 woods ballers so your going to fit in w. either half. Its a great time and you should def. come check it out. |

i played there for 3 months and loved every time i went. good urban field, and more woods games than you know what to do with.OCP has the nicest staff and some of the coolest locals in the Orlando area. good field rates ($10 all day). cheap air (12 fill card $10). cheap paint ($45 white box). nice people. thats what its all about. |

Overall this is a great place to play. Tim and his wife run a class operation and myself and my sons always enjoy playing there.
Fields: Urban style city field, speedball field, tire field, large wooded field.
Cost: Prices are reasonable. $10 admission or $15 if you BYOP on Saturdays. Paint prices are not bad. $65 for top grade paint is a tad high but not bad really. White box is less.
Safety: Safety is generally good. Refs always make sure goggles are down while on the field and barrel covers are used off the field. No safey briefing prior to the start of play however.
Refs: Refs are normally pretty good. Occasionally you will get a newer ref that isn't up on all the objectives of some of the woods games but all in all pretty good.
Facilities: No food but cold drinks are sold. Only bathroom facilities are a couple of port-a-lets.
Suggestions for improvements:
Some days it can get crowded and there are way too many players on the city field for example. Plus it can take way too long between games. In this case, they should limit the number of players on each team, play a 10-minute game, then as soon as that game is over, start another one with the next group. This will eliminate the overcrowded games plus keep the games moving quicker. The refs will have to work harder since there would be less rest between games but that's what they get paid for.
Also it gets hard to tell who's on what team. They sometimes use tape or just thin yellow ribbon but sometimes you have to ask them for this. A few rolls of white, yellow, or red tape would be a decent investment and make it better for the players.
Due to the areas for improvement needed, I give this field an 8/10. I will continue to play there as it's a great place to play in Orlando compared to the other fields around.

This is a great place to play at. The diversity of play is top notch. OCP offers Scenario, Air up, Fast paced city scape games and more.
The owner Tim and I believe wife (sorry I did not get her name) were very friendly and really made our first time out a fun and family atmosphere was definitely there. Some fields we have played at you get a cold shoulder from the locals but not at OCP.
They offer CO2 fills, HPA and paint. I believe paint started at 35.00 a box and topped out at 60.00 for PMI Premium. I used the white box made locally in Orlando and seemed to shoot fine.
They will open for Sunday FPO play if you call in advance during the summer. Once the fair weather players start playing again they will be open every weekend.
This is a must play field for any baller.

Just follow 50 from woodbury to CR 13 and take a right, coming from 520 you take a left, go down that road for a while and it comes up on your left after getting past the "tunnel" of trees, it clears up over head. |

OCP is the best field around that i could ever find. It has great prices, awesome fields, and good service. The one downside i could ever find is......actually i cant. Its a great field, and has a lot of good people come out there. Everyones always nice and there to help you, and they have pretty much the coolest ref ever. |

| Review: |
Been playing here since the 90s under different owners. Have played there 5 times under the current owner Tim.
THE GOOD:
Prices are more than fair, with an option to BYOP on Sat.
Refs: 4 out 5 times I have been impressed with the quality of the refs.
Paint: I have only purchased the top grade paint from OCP and have been VERY pleased with the price and quality. I have heard positive remarks about the low end paint, but Im not gonna touch it.
Air Fills: Bottle System, but very pleased with the price. You purchase an air card for $10-15 and they punch it. In 5 times playing I have not used up one card.
Players: The skill level for the average player is way above normal. I credit this to the large amount of speedball courses in Orlando. Also, seen very good sportsmanship, which is a definite plus.
Staging Area: plenty of shade and tables. Close Parking.
The courses: The town is very fun, quick action and large enough to move around.
Around 50 acres of woods. The local scenario team has spent the last 5 months getting the woods ready for future games.
Speedball: dont know, Ive delt with to many prima donna crybabies and wipers over the years to return to that aspect of the game.
THE BAD:
So far, I have Never seen a safety or rule meeting.
Turn around time for games is pretty poor. That's somewhat okay while its hot. Gives players more of a break. Hope it will get better when cool weather returns.
Chrono station, while the refs do chrono players, the chrono netted area has holes and I also see players enter the chono station without eye protection.
Suggestions: Improve turn around time. Shooting paint is what makes PB fields money. Players sitting around = lost revenue. The refs should call out "Play in 5" and take those who are ready. This has the effect of speeding up the slowpokes.
Furthermore, all it takes is one customer having a bad time and bad news spreads. (see previous post)
Picking Teams. Instead of choosing two captains, (who might be unaware of player skills) and letting the captains choose teams. The refs should: Split the best players in an appx equal amount . Then split the remained in half. (easy way is to have players count 1, 2, 1, 2,)
Repair holes in Chrono net or put up plywood.
Eliminate boundaries: except for town on town play. This cuts down on confusion on whose "out of bounds" But of course makes more work for the refs.

The field is NOT in Orlando as stated on PBReview. It is through the downtrodden side of Florida. I became depressed just looking out the window on the drive there.

| Review: |
I was visiting friends in Orlando and wanted to play paintball, so I brought all my gear on the plane and shipped my tank separately.
Although woods and scenario is not my ideal, the prices at OCP looked attractive to me and two teenagers from the area that wanted to go with me.
OCP stated on their website and on the phone they were having a scenario game. There were no more than 30 people there; does anyone show up to play on regular days?
What I saw of the fields looked ok, but who was running the show turned me off.
I went into the shack to get information, having to ask the people behind the counter the same question two different ways to elicit the “you are stupid stare” and then was told to talk with someone else outside they didn’t know anything.
This made me feel anything but welcome and I helped me decided to not spend my money or time at this field. We got into the car and drove to Orlando Paintball, paid a little more but it was worth every dollar. Save the time and gas money by driving somewhere else first don’t even give this field a thought.

I wasnt planning on coming to this field, but when EPik told me that their fields are closed for the weekend I wasnt going to go home being I just picked up 3 cases of paint with the intent of playing another paintballer was in the epik shop and told me about Orange county PB. The field is BYOP on Saturday with 15.00 dollar admission and if you buy their paint its $10. They carry draxxus paintballs, paint is fresh and its priced well. Rec sport - $48 for a case (13.00 for 500) Blaze - $55 for the case (15.00 for 500) and Inferno $60 for a case (17.00 for 500). The air card deal is excellent 10 bucks gets you 12 fills of Co2 or N2 and the card is good until you hit the 12 fill limit (80 cents a fill !!!!!) Sunday is Field paint only and 10.00 admission. Make sure you bring extra batteries,squeeges,barrel plugs,lens cleaner, etc..... because they really dont stock up on a lot of stuff. As for the fields they're great a couple speedball fields, The village (which is a great field and a player favorite, i know its mine) and they have HUGE woodsball fiels. Overall good field, good staff, and good prices, overall great place to play the sport weather you are pro, newbie, or what ever. Come here have fun!!! |

This is a decent little place...ahh shouldn't really call it little, he has about 50 to 55 acres.
4 fields:
3 man with corrugated piping (up front)
5 - 7 man "The City" with little buildings/huts & a tower (up front)
5 man with tractor tires , piping & a few air bunkers (in the back..can use privately)
woods....about 30 acres of paths, props and streams (in back & on side of the shop)
...he had a fort in the back but one of our many hurricanes blew most of it down.
Separate chrono area with quite a few targets of various types to practice a bit.
A large shaded area with spools as tables surrounded by benches.
Overall a decent field and the largest woods ball field in the Orlando Metro area...with a variety, style-wise, of fields types.
I here they might even have a summer league soon.
Small little pro shop with few items but he's is rebuilding and re-setting up the field so more to come.
...it's worth a check, especially if you're a woods baller!
