This is an awsome field the always encourage newcomers. They really stress saftey but they are not so strickt that it is not fun. The field is perfect size i think and is a hybrid between speedball and woodsball. They really dont sell paintballs or co2 they would rather you bring your own but the can suply them if you tell them in advance. They are very friendy and make you feel at home. I think that the prices are good. They always have atleast one ref out there and sometimes one plays. They tell you that you need to keep the velocity below 280 fps. They have a chronograph there for you to use. You need to have a barrel plug in at all times if you are not in the playing field. They will always supply you with very good info and tips. They have very good viewing places when you get out. You can olay capture the flag or elimanation. Overall this is an awsome field! |

The course and its staff members were great. They had a great knowledge of the sport. Joe and Kevin kept it all safe, but extremely fun too. The pictures that they provided for us were a definite plus.
The course itself has a great mixture of natural and Joe-made cover. The ravine and the bridge that span it along with the natural slope of the hill that some of the course is onmake for great natural cover. Joe's bunkers range from small to large and provide some great spots for holing up or advancing on the other team.
I will go back there again and would recommend it to anyone who plays. |

Kennebec Valley Paintball is where I usually play. Easy Street was a fun change. It was a hybrid between speedball and a woods course. So it was fast, large, and fun. |

Even though we played in a foot of snow, the owners/refs took really good care of us. They were friendly, safety always came first, and went out of their way to ensure great games. They also took pics while we played which was an added bonus. Be sure to check this place out!!! |

It's not that hard to find, it's off of Rt 201 in Farmingdale, behind a Pizza joint. There is not sign but it's right on the corner of Easy Street. Once you turn onto Easy Street, it's the property on the corner. |

Wow, what can I say. The two guys who run the field are really knowledgable in paintball. They stress safety to an extream. Kevin is the "PR" guy and Josky is muscle. But they both do a great job. I have played here many times and will continue to do so. I will be bring my niece and her friend next year. If I were to suggest anything to Kevin and Josky it would be to put up some sort of signage.
I recommend this field to anyone, either newbie or oldtimer. Don't miss out on this field. They even have parties there. Birthday and batchler. From what they say. So, if you want to have a good time playing paintball, head out to Easy Street Paintball in Farmingdale. They are only open on Saturdays starting at like 10 to 4pm. |

The guys here were very friendly and fun to play with. They are very safety conscious but they aren't jerks about it if you make a mistake every now and then. The field is very well built up, and has tons of bunkers. The staff is very helpful at telling you about each bunker, and the best strategy to use while playing. I am definitely heading back there for my bachelor party in a few months, and I'm sure my second experience will be as good as my first. Great field overall.

It's easy to get to. Like the directions say, it's just of 201 behind Charlies Pizza. Once you turn onto Easy Street it's the house directly in front of you. If you turn up the hill you missed it. |

I came with five guys with little to no experience. I've been playing on and off for over ten years. This is a first-rate field...great bunkers, elevation changes. You can play aggressive or take-it-easy. When we played there we two women who were playing who had a great time. Safety is a priority here which is good.
The field is big enough so that you can't see everyone and small enough to insure fast games. Every game is reffed which keeps things nice.
I know a couple guys in our group were more than a little scared but we all had a great time and will be back. Highly recommended. |

Even though that I am fairly new at paintballing the crew at Easy Street were very helpful and big on safety. They made our group and I feel welcome and made our experience that much more enjoyable. The prices were very reasonable and their equipment is in great shape.
The field is very well built, with plenty of space to maximize your experience.
Definitely had a lot of fun and am planning on returning in the near future.

| Review: |
The field is really great, its all woods-ball and there are a lot of good bunkers they have castles and places to spectate the game when you get out. The only thing i didn't really like about the field is that the Co2 is a little pricey, and the paintballs where a bit pricey to $15 for 500 and they where monster balls. Other then that its a great field i would recommend it!! |

I loved playing at this Field. It is a great woods-ball field. I have a Veiwloader Orion and I did great there. I would definitely go there again. The ref makes sure there are no injuries, and he makes sure that you have fun. He is a great guy. If you like woods-ball, then you should totally play at this field. It is a little pricey. Just like any other field on prices, but its worth the price. Great field. So fun. |

| Review: |
We went to Dick's sporting goods the morning we were going to play here and met a few of the players then (they were very friendly and encouraging).
They are VERY focused on safety on this field, if you get out you will hear at LEAST 1-2 people telling you to put your barrel plug in and hands up so that nobody shoots at you. They check/have you check you gun velocity throughout the day (we had it set to 280 which is pretty fast compared to other places, but not brutal).
even though the hours of operation are on the website (Sat 10-6) they are pretty laid back about it. We all got there a little after 10 and could have probably arranged to stay past 6pm (but it was getting cold out).
the field seems very tiny at first glance, but they really worked the terrain in such a way as to maximize the space. You can't rightly call it speedball or woodsball, since the field is a hybrid of both, and they adopt rules from both game types. It's small enough to get you into a firefight fast, but has enough cover to let you move around some (but I have yet to find any one spot that is unbalanced or impossible to hit/get hit from).
the "staff" are all players and they take turns reffing (there's always at least one ref out there at any game, usually there were 2 when I was there).
They do rent out gear, but I think it's limited (and they really need to know what you'll need in advance so they can accommodate. they don't have a pro shop or anything like that, so they need you to fire them an e-mail with a head count and your gear needs in advance.).
Everyone there was very encouraging and easy to get along with. Some of the regulars there have been at this a loooong time and know what they're doing, so don't just shrug off any advice they give you (they showed me a ton of tricks son marker maintenance and such).
All in all, the perfect place to get into the sport, play a seasoned team, or let younger players get into it (note: everyone signs a standard waiver, minors need a parent to sign it as well). There was one younger player out there (his dad is a seasoned player to say the least), and the refs did a good job of making sure he was safe, had fun and got in on the action.
any/everyone that paintballs (speed, wood, whatever) needs to check this place out, bring a crew of friends (whether they've played before or not!) and you'll have a blast (remember to brnig a camera and maybe you can get a ref to shoot some nice action shots of you out there slugging it out!!).| Last edited on Sunday, April 8th, 2007 at 6:52 am PST |
