Obviously safety is a huge concern... their speedball field is decent, but the worst part about it is the fact that its on dirt and not turf...their woods courses are awesome...they have a great variety of games that are mostly objective based. i guess i would complain about how big their woodsball fields are because i end up wheezing from runnign across a big sctretch of woods before i fire a shot...but i suppose thats a good thing..the staff in knowledgeable and they are willing to diagnose your gun if your having minor problems... the lack of a proshop is a slight downer, but on the other hand they have everythign you may need for a day of paintball...batteries, squeegies, all the necessary stuff. The prices are damn good for this area, and you really get your money worth. The ref's are calling you to line-up for the next game 10 mins after you just sat down chatting about how many times you got lit up...the lunch is cheap, and works great for fueling up for the last half-day of play. All in all this is a great field, and they can accomodate large parties well! we'll see you there! |

Safety:9. They are verry concerned with safety.
Prices:7 The prices are fair enough.
Fields:8 There are two fields. Speed and woods. Personally, I like how the woods area is set up, but not the speed.
Food:9 I loved the food. For two dollars you can get two hotdogs and a soda, pizza with a soda, or a hamburger with soda. The food tasts good too!
Rules:9 The rules are pretty much the same as any other place.
Hours:9 You can get so many hours in if you pay for a full day.
Cenario pball is the best there. The Manager is so nice. My friend bot a have day and his gun didnt work for like an hour so the manager gave him a full day. The woods ball field is like 10 acrs atleast. Great places to hide for snipers.
All in all, this is the best place to go.

Alright, I'll start off by saying that I had a good time despite my complaints about the field. Overall they're not bad, but they could use a little help.
Safety: 9 Its their number one priority and they make it clear.
Fields: 7 Cool fields even though I sank ankle deep into solid looking mud.
Prices: 7 Fair, nothing spectacular.
Refs and other Staff: 6 While they made safety their priority they also didn't even try to make the teams fair. I was on a team with literally 15 kids under the age of 14, and the other team had a bunch of big guys and late teenagers with a bunch of experience. The staff didn't seem to want to talk to you with the exception to the air-hut worker, and I personally don't think that being so apathetic helps anyone.
Proshop: 0 Because there isn't one.
Facilities: 3 Outhouses? Sick, really. They even look sketchy from the outside.
Food: 6 They had pizza, not great pizza but pizza nontheless. Drink selection is pretty good.
All in all I think there were just way too many players on the field at any one time making it hard to make sense of your goal and harder to accomplish it with little or no teamwork among the players. Overall I think I give this place and 6 out of 10. | Last edited on Monday, December 3rd, 2007 at 10:06 am PST |

Great great great great great great great, I went there yesterday (3-22-07) and it was so great.The refs are great.The admission price is great, the paint though is a little pricey, I don't like that but other than that everything is great for me. The ref's ensure a great safe and fun day. My only complaint was that once this 10 year old on my team shot me twice from 3 feet away and he didn't have to leave. I was pissed, but it was an accident, but i still wish he had to leave that round.Pizza there is the best pizza I've ever had.Great place go there I'll add more but i'm to tired to now. |

This field is so awesome! i went there on opening day and it was so much fun. ok, so lets get down to business......
Safety: very strict, but they should be. i don't think any field wants to be known for a kid losing their eye.
Field: awesome. big field with lots of forts and different terrain. they have thick woods to open villages. its good for every type of player.
Prices: excellent. i played for $25 and am able to come back again for free because of a special they had i guess. free day of paintball is good for me, ill take it.
Rules: they explain every game in detail, and if u don't understand, the refs will answer any question u want with sincerity.
Services: they have bathrooms, a small proshop, and food all around the same area. so its not like u hafta walk a far way and miss a game because you have to buy a barrel condom. everything is right there so it makes it extremely easy to just pick sumthing up. they dont have a lot of stuff to buy, but they have the necessities.
Staff: very friendly. always willing to help you out and explain stuff to you. if you don t understand, they will go out of their way to help you. guys in the fill station are very friendly and help you out. when i came last year, i needed an o-ring for my tank and they gave me one for free instead of charging me like...$5 for them. they said i could have it because it was my birthday, even though it wasn't. haha.
Refs: awesome, awesome, awesome. they are always around and are willing to risk getting hit for your safety. and they are fun to talk to. they are just ordinary people and like to laff and joke around just like the players. on the field they are serious and watch for safety. off the field they are chill and like to have a good time.
Players: range from 10 year olds to 60 year olds. all different skills. the team numbers werre a little lopsided, but we kept winning anyways. we had like, 20 less people, but we kept winning. we prolly just had more experience on our side. players are also all nice and willing to help you out if u need something.
Facilities: a wide variety of snacks in the concession stand if u get hungry and need a quick fix. i dont know what people were talking about with the bathrooms........theres a full working girls and boys bathroom just a small walk away. they have an outhouse, but about 4 steps away is the other bathrooms with working toilets.
Games: huge variety of diff games. attack and defend, ctf. raise the flag, speedball. all very fun and interesting.
In all, i love this field. its not so big that you get lost, and its not small either. got enough cover and brush if u wanna sneak and flank, or you can battle in open spots like the village. very fun and i plan on going back once i get more money. |

| Review: |
Well the first time i went to play were it was ok when we were playing but i only played 3 to 4 games because the refs take way to long to start a game. the gun techs are pretty cool but there's one who is kinda mean but hes human. the hours aren't that great because its not open that long, i wish it was open longer. this place is huge and it could hold so many people. but when there is a lot of people the teams are never equal. i was on the blue team with almost 30 to 40 people and the red team had about 50 to 60 people so it wasn't to fair..... The field is great, you can play many different games on the huge field. what i think they should do is make one big fort and play attack and defend because that is a great game to play. but i do have to say that this is one of the best fields that i'v played at for a long time thank you a lot have a nice day |

This place is phenomenal. The refs keep games very interesting, the field is huge and more than able to handle any players that show up all at the same time, there is a great mix of players, great prices if you have your own gear ($25), they have periodic deals (me and my brother played there for two full days this weekend for only $50), the technicians are GREAT (the guy there taught me and my brother how to properly clean our spyder mr-2s being that we had done piss-poor jobs) and work for free as long as you've paid entrance, and everything is just great in general. A couple of people complain about the bathrooms but the outhouse they have there is pretty ok for guys at least. The food isn't great either but its tolerable. My only complaint is that the first day I was there they let teams become lopsided and the games became too easy because we outnumbered our opponents by about 20 people. However, that seemed to be a one-time problem because it was corrected the second day I went. It is a great place to go have fun and play good paintball. |

| Review: |
everything is out of 10
Safety-9, one kid didnt have his mask on when the horn blew but then the ref made sure everyone was prepared
Fields-10, 14 acres is the main field and thereis a 4 acre private field for private parties and the speedball course was alot of fun but not nearly as fun as the woods ball place where you can take cover in helicopters. (2 of them)
Hours of operation-9, they go from 8:30AM till 5:00PM or so, i only wish a paintball field had lights
prices- 8, normally a little expensive but when they have sales its awesome, 6$ to fill a co2 tank but if you play all day its free air and co2(12$ full day with air and 2 slices of pizza chips and a coke)!!!!!
services- 10, They have a shooting range with many people targets big to small and if you need help with your gun they help you for free (say you need to get a Response trigger installed theyll do it for free)
proshop-3, not much of a selection here but they offer good quality paint, and sell barrel squeegees and barrel condoms and that sort of stuff
Staff- 9, Very friendly but they do make mistakes time to time
Players- 8, alot of war vets come here and they offer guidance to new players also its a bit crowded on sale days
Facilities- 5, they have a piss hole for the guys and a porty potty for the girls..... 0 for girls and 10 for the guys so it rounds out to a 5
Food- 10, they are catered by Bettanos italian specialties and they have grills that you can use for bachelor parties and stuff
final score- 8.1 out of 10 this is only brought down because there is no proshop and the facilities arent meant for the girls (just go to the bathroom before you leave for the field)

| Review: |
The first thing I want to point out is that my first paintball experience outside of camps, was here. It gave me quite a image of how hard real paintball is. They gave me some pods and a gun, plus a jumpsuit. The people here do their job well, but I think they are a little bored with the newer players, I didn't feel welcomed. The place is cheap and it gives you excellant paint. However, getting a rental means death, rentals here are beat up tippmanns. These cannot compete most of the time with the better guns. Its just impossible at times to fight with rentals(which I always use). We had polar ice for the fall season, they care about quality paint. The people who go here are friendly and give you helpful pointer's in the game. Speedballers, there is only 1field here and it doesn't cut it. This place is for the woodsballer really, "14 acres of adrenline pumping action". I have to say that it is one of the largest fields I have played on and one of best. The level of players here is usually pretty good woodsballers and decent speedballers, but it can vary alot. The only problem is that sometimes the teams get a little lopsided, and then becomes a unfair game to the unfortunates. The senarios they give are pretty good, and with constant playing I must say its fun to do.
In short I would give it a 9 because its one of the best fields that's local and because they do their job well here. I would only be unhappy because of the quality of the rentals, but thats just me. I would suggest this field to anyone who has their own gun who likes a diverse field and game. | Last edited on Saturday, November 4th, 2006 at 5:38 pm PST |
