Directions
to the Field: |
Take Tennessee St/Mahan/HW 90 (all the same road) to Monticello courthouse, be careful the speed limit drops for 55 to 25 in less than half a mile and the speed limit is strictly inforced, dont want any speeding tickets. Take the round-a-bout all the around to the 3rd (last) turn and turn RIGHT. Take that road and turn RIGHT onto Boston Highway (its on the corner of a gas station). Further down Boston HW you will turn RIGHT on a road called Dills Road. Take Dills Road and you by farms and cow pastures and on top of a hill is Hay Pond Farm and also BLACKWATER PAINTBALL PARK, turn LEFT on Hay Pond Farm (there should also be the blackwater paintball sign), Once you turn left follow the signs. |

The field is open Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00am to 5:00pm or when it gets dark. There is rentals, PMI GTI markers for the economy price and SP Ions for the advanced price. You can get CO2 fills as well as HPA/compressed air. Paint is sold for a great price and it is good paint. You can also buy drinks and food for great prices too.
Safety is the number one priority at BWPB, barrel bags or plugs on all the time unless your on the field. To enter the field as well as the chrono station you must also have a mask on. The speed limit for shooting is 280FPS (to prevent any spikes from CO2 use) and the goal is 15BPS or less.
There is a proshop at the field. You can buy basic gear (O-rings, fill nipples, barrel swabs, ect) and if you need something you can always order it through Charles or Jeremy (the owners) and the price is usually the same if not less than the price of buying it online.
There are bathrooms, real ones as well as showers! The woodsball field is 60 acres and has a castle as well as board bunkers to have recball play. There is a speedball field with 50 bunkers and you can always find people that want to play. The refs are very professional as well as all the staff, they make it so that every game is clean, safe, and fun.
Blackwater Paintball is the best field in North Florida. |

Awesome people, owner's Charles and Jeremy treat people with respect and the field lay-out is good, but I think they could use some more playing areas. The shop is a good place to cool off and talk about the next place to play and also to brag on your team's victories. They take safety as the #1 thing to go by . They can give good deals on paintball equipment and install upgrades for your gun. If you go there to play your in for a great experience.
GO to blackwaterpaintball.com to see what is going down like a tournament ,etc.| Last edited on Sunday, January 13th, 2008 at 10:18 am PST |

The field is a nice one. a lot of work went into it. Charles and Jeremy definatly opened it for everyones enjoyment. there is an awsome fill station with many lines. there are real bathrooms and i believe showers as well. every time i have gone to the field i have had an enjoyable experience. there are many bunkers in the large wooded area and they have a big castle that is fun to get in and defend. their speedball field is what is extremely impressive. they have more than 50 inflatable bunkers and to me thats impressive. i will definatly recommend giving this field a shot. |

the owners are awesome, very fair, and are usually offering some deals that day on either rentals or paint prices. They are always alot of fun to talk to. The speedball course is currently down due to the fact that they are growing gass on it. Black water has some great woodsball. They have the old western town which is spread out over an area of about 120 yards by 35 yards. Great place to play capture the flag. The other main attraction is the castle. Its a large square building with towers in the corner. The object is to either eliminate the players in there by attacking them or to touch the barrels on the front side and backside. very challenging. |

There is nothing but great things to say about this place. Charles and Jeremy are more than helpful and will make sure that everyone has a great time. Even being my first time, their patience with all of my questions was remarkable. I left with the feeling of spending the afternoon playing paintball with a few old friends (that enjoyed putting red marks all over an old man!lol).
The woodsball was incredible. Who builds a western town in the middle of the woods, much less a CASTLE? I had a hard time describing it to people at the NPPL Tampa event without them giving me a "are you serious" look on their face. They have a trailer to transport players to and from the 60 acres of playing area so that you are not exhausted by the time you get there.
The air ball course was a blast besides the kids that were twice as fast as I am. It was well laid out and play was very fast/competitive.
After reading the reveiws on the other regional parks, it will not take long to make this the top park in the area. It has something for every everyone and every skill level. There is nothing that the owners, team, or local players would not do, to make sure you leave smiling.
Can't wait to go back " Eleven out of Ten!" |

I work with one of the owners brothers and he told me about this enormous field they had been building for nearly a year and when I went there the first time I was pleasantly surprised. With an excellent air ball set up and over 60 acres of woods ball , whats not to love. The people there are nicest guys I've ever met, way better than the field i used to work at. With much, much more to come and more being set up every week, its hand down the only place to be in northern FL or south GA. |

Stopped in to review the field this past weekend, and when they have everything set it is going to be a really nice place to play some airball and woodsball. The facilities will be the nicest I've seen in a while.
Current strengths:
Fantastic fill station - huge compressor, 4.5K fills, up to 8/10 fill lines. Nicest I've seen, including big games and big fields across the country. They mentioned they might be doing scuba fills, which will come in handy, I like to keep a tank around for shooting in the back yard.
Really nice woodscourses, and there will definitely be some fun to be had in the castle course.
Bathrooms!!!! Real ones, with running water, fans, and real porcelain goodness. They are still working on them, but they've got showers, and 8 stalls. A couple of paintball mags and I'll be set.
Nice airball setup. Not finished as the netting still needs the poles planted, but the bunkers are all new sup'air, and great quality. Looking forward to it.
Really nice guys - the took me on a jeep tour of the facility, and all of the courses, can't wait to get out there and play.
Nice rental equipment, and some high end rental equipment to be had as well. Great place for parties
This field will be one to watch when it is all set up.

Good times! The owner was accomodating, the woodsball field is lots of fun with plywood buildings set up. The speedball field is good, with improvements coming soon. Owners offer discounts for groups- significant discounts, too! Angel guns were great. Regular rental for the Angels was $50- I think other guns were available for $35.
The proshop, if you can call it that, consists primarily of a room in a trailer with the guns and paint. The guys were really cool, though, and we were all comfortable just hanging out while the forms were filled out and the guns were distributed.
The owner was anxious to show off the field- he's obviously proud. He took us out in his jeep to see 'The Castle'- a larger structure that we didn't have time to play. The fields are on beautiful wooded land- no problem with wet areas (except the moat around the castle).
We'll definitely be back soon! |

I would like to tell you about this new field. at present they have three different fields to play on and are working on a speed field. The guys at the field are very helpful and well do all they can to make your play safe and fun.
I am new to the sport and have been in need of helpful tips. blackwater does not bad mouth any one or any manufactures. If you ask they will give it to you straight and will do all they can to help you
The web site does not do them just if you went and played you would see what i am saying.
hint: If you play the castle remember that even knights had to travel out side the walls |
