The Paintball Park

The Paintball Park is San Diego's Favorite Paintball Experience. With three locations: Camp

Pendleton, Miramar and Twentynine Palms, The Paintball Park brings in hundreds of players each

week, who are looking for a good time with friends and a chance to get a little messy. The Paintball

Park is open to the public every weekend, and is available for private groups by reservation any day

of the week. The Paintball Park at Camp Pendleton has eight playing fields, each complete with

obstacles such as military tanks, tents, castles and King Kong.

About Airsoft:

Airsoft is a war-type sport played in a closed course. Each individual has a face mask, gun, and

(preferably) long-sleeves. The game is played as one team versus the other, often as a capture-theflag

scenario. If an individual gets hit, the player calls “HIT,” and moves to the safe zone. Once a

team has won, players regroup for the following game.
