The refs have friends that come in and don't get cronoed so they shoot hot but they make me turn off my E-trigger on ramping rated at 18 bps. They shoot 25 bps+ with there pro guns. Great fields but poorly managed. Great speedball field. Other local fields are better and allow gun for gun matches based on performance. |

I have played at Master Blasters, North West, Paradice, TPS and Urban Myth. And this was a great field but by far it was not as good as the others I listed. |

| Review: |
This park was a good place if you live near by but I would not suggest traveling to go to it. It was vary unclean the mud was so bad you sunk in deep. The owner was not vary nice to any boudy the refs were awesome but I didn't like the way the owner treated the refs. Im a ref myself at to different parks and i find it fun but i would not want to ref there. |

| Review: |
Overall, my group and I had a blast. The four fields we played were great. We didn't play the Jungle field as it was overgrown.
Prices are relatively inexpensive. I brought my own paint but in hind sight, either BYOP or buying paint from the field is a wash. If you buy half a case, one field fee is included, two field fees with a case. Air was an additional $10. IHMO, air should be included in the field fees.
Pros:
Good variety of playing fields -- the Urban and Bridge fields were nicely set-up
Good variety in games -- I enjoyed sniper and protect the president
Cons:
Turn around time between games.
Staff -- specifically the refs
Unchecked use of vulgar profanities (I am no angel, but come on, there is a time and place -- this is supposed to be a family friendly field.)
Bad mouthing other fields and stores.
Like I said, we had a great time, but the refs were unsat -- poor attitude, unprofessional, and rude. There were little things throughout the day but what bothers me the most was towards the end of the day. Our group was coming off the speed ball field. One player mentioned that he believed another player was shooting hot. Rather than address the issue and simply chrono the player in question's marker -- a simple solution -- the ref responded that "he works here" and that "he know the rules." The issue was completely ignored and not taken seriously. To top it off the ref talks to the "employee"/player, but rather than discuss the issue, I over hear them bad mouthing the player who had a legitimate safety concern.
This is not an environment that I would want my kids or even my 18 year old niece to be playing paintball in.
Hopefully this is an isolated incident and will be addressed.

I’ve played on and off for 12 years and more frequently in the last year. Operation Paintball (OP) is hands down the best paintball field in WA! My commute of 1.5 hours from Lynnwood is well worth it. After playing at this field once, I had to come back with a paintball crew and share paintball heaven. They have 5 different maps (hamburger hill, urban, jungle, the bridge, and airball). There is a map for all different types of players. You can play all day and never get bored of the maps. My personal favorite is their urban field. They’ve got three 2-story structures surrounded by abandoned trucks, vans, and giant tire stacks. Fun fun fun! The first thing I noticed about this field in comparison with other fields is how organized they are. I also noticed how well each map was designed. I can tell the owners have invested a lot of money into making quality maps. I learned they’ve been in business for 8 years so they definitely know what they are doing.
Pros:
- amazingly clean
- super friendly staff (Jason is awesome)
- very safe
- family friendly environment
- super organized
- variety of maps
- owners are extremely nice
- refs are great
- plenty of parking
- competitive prices
- tons of funs for walk-ons and private groups rain or shine
- great for all levels of players, beginners and seasoned
Cons:
- absolutely none
As you can tell, Operation Paintball has created a raving fan. Just come here once, and you’ll experience the best in WA. Guaranteed!

1st. The owners are GREAT! We came down from Bellingham and spent the night there and played. They gave us discounts and coupons for driving the distance.
We played on a Sunday and there was 86 people there. Penty of parking.
They have 5 fields! Including a HyperBall field. They do a great job of rotating the groups through all the fields via radios. Same time limit at all the fields.
The two woodsball fields need to be mowed some. It was too brushy!
DR Brush Hog Debbie??
Hamburger Hill was alot of fun. It seems the up hill teams always wins. We played both sides. It never changes since WWI does it? Take the HIGH GROUND!
Now the VILLAGE.
This is by far, Hands Down, the BEST Village I have ever played on.
Could use 2 more castles south of the others.
I wish all other fields had a field like this one.
I wish CDR or Semper-Fi had a Village like this one!
This is the main reason alot of people play here! Buildings, trucks, bunkers, tree house, a colvert snake, ect.
They said private parties will play all day just at the village. I can see why.
This is worth the drive just to play it. Trust me.
The refs are great. Lots of refs! They do alot of running for paint checks.
Alot of Seasoned and Newbs play together. The refs know how to even the teams out.
Snacks and drinks available.
Paint prices are a good deal with the field fees included.
We all had a great time!
We are going back down with our team, just to have a great day or weekend!
Go to and check them out. It's worth the drive.
I give this field a 9 because I think there is only 1 number 10 field, that would be "SC VILLAGE" in California.

The first thing I noticed about this field was how organized it was. All of the field's equipment, cash registers, products are safely stored in their on-site shop. Plenty of refs are available, all of which strongly encourage fair and VERY SAFE play; you'll always hear "SAFETY!" whenever someone is violating safety rules (barrel blockers, mask, even incorrect tank removal).
Safety - Strictly enforced by both field staff and field regulars. From my own experience, walk-on groups aren't so closely watched for following regulations, but as I mentioned, the staff is sure to be on you if you walk off without a barrel plug, or you walk on without a mask.
Prices - Awesome deals... 1 case gets you two field fees. Half case gets you one field fee. The downside is that the field fee does NOT include air, which costs $10 for all day air/co2. Not too bad, but it's still more. But group rates! They're awesome, if you have a 10 person group, it includes all day air and 500 rounds for $25 each person.
Rules - Encourages fair, safe play. (Refer to Safety section). The field plays various common game types including "sniper" (or foxhunt, or whatever you call it), escort (complete with urban-themed field), a basic elimination game, and their own game played on "Hamburger Hill" (sort of an Omaha Beach situation.. uphill against downhill-facing pillboxes).
Services/Shop - All of your needs including air systems, markers, accessories (barrel blockers, nipple covers, oil, etc), and fill both 3k and 4.5k air + co2.
Players - There's a group of regulars there that are very safety-oriented... one of them might be friends with the owner or something. Players like that are common and help foster a postive, beginner-friendly/helpful environment. And there's a lot of people here, rain or shine.
Food - Pizza can be ordered prior to 12:15... otherwise, they have chips, water, energy drinks, and pizza slices for sale I think. Water is fairly cheap too.. oh so important.
Conclusion - go play there!
... there IS decent parking...unless you drive a motorcycle (gravel/dirt ground). |

The OP field is awesome!!! The staff in the shop are great people, the refs are mostly
good but Saturday's refs were horriabule, all they did was stand next to ecother on the
Field and listen to their ipods. Im waiting forever between rounds and it was
frustrating. I guess their part of their speed ball team "Devastation". There was
another guy there part of the scenario team "Opsbat" the guy was worse than my little
sister that couldn't open Christmas gifts the night before. I seen him act like this before.
The rest of the "Opsbat" guys are really cool and really friendly so don't think the rest of them are like that. I feel bad for them to have a guy like that on their team.
Besides these negatives this fields is awesome the owner Debbie is a great lady goes out and walks around to make sure that everyone has a great time. And most Saturdays are fun out there so don't let this hinder you from going out there. I never post about a field even if it was bad cause those days happen. but this just sucked. This feild is normaly a 9 out of 10 |
