Simply the best field Ive been to. Friendly staff and decent prices. There is a wide variety of playing fields and terrains, and I love the trenches! The scenarios are always a blast too. My only two "complaints" would be, in corn season, the entrance can be easily missed as it is set back behind a field, and the other issue is you occasionally get cocky Ft Lee boots there. Been there at least 20 times, and cant find a reason to stop!
We came for my son's 13th birthday party. He, his dad and friends had a blast. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. It rained all day but was nice, dry and cool in the party bunker where I was able to put our cooler and snacks. They also have a covered picnic area with tables. Great family place. Will be back.
Where to begin... I went to play at their big game just yesterday November 18th. I called the number they have listed Thursday, two days before the event, and asked someone when the gates would open because registration was listed as starting at 0800. I was told someone would open at 0730-0800, and no on arrived until around 0845. My friends and I drove 2 hours to get to the park then sat around for an hour and a half. This single individual that opened the gate and doors to the registration building had no capability to begin dealing with registration for the dozen or so car loads of players that had beat him to the gate because he had no access to a cash drawer for the register. He also rudely explained to us that no one shows up to the park that early, and only get there close to 0900. The facilities themselves looked as if someone had raided a junkyard, and the last mobile home lot you would want to find yourself in, and turned trash into a business establishment. I received my case of paint with pre registration, then purchased an extra case along with two smoke grenades. The smoke grenades are advertised on their website as 90 second grenades. I only saw roughly 30 seconds of smoke. The field is a "field only" paint park which is stupid because their paint is overpriced and complete trash. The balls were dimpled looking like golf balls and did not fly straight while also breaking in the barrels of my whole groups markers. One of my friends asked about it, and we were told we could swap the first stuff we got with a shipment that was just picked up and brought to the field. I took my second case I purchased that morning in for an exchange. A gentlemen handed me a case he had opened to inspect for breaks. I took it, only to learn that another friend of mine was having the same issues as the first batch of paint the field handed out. The balls were all dimpled, not flying straight, and breaking in the barrel. I started to use tournament grade paint I had from another field I played at in the past, which was cheaper than Splatbrothers garbage paint, I was told to go back and load up with their paint before the beginning of a later game that day. I was frustrated, and just wanted my money back for the second case I had. I went inside to ask for a refund. Two workers looked at me like I was crazy asking for a refund because the box was opened. None of the bags were opened. I was handed the box opened when I exchanged for it earlier, I did not ask for it to be opened. They would only offer me another exchange. All in all, the lack of choice in paint by only providing one type to buy, the poor upkeep of the establishment, the lack of timeliness and organization turned into a waste of money. I would not recommend going to play here unless you shoot something that is on the level of a rental marker. Trying to bore out the paint with a barrel kit was useless. Even playing with the stock barrel on my Ego11, or my friends markers which were a Geo 3.5, Dye DM 15 and Axe 2.0, all had problems with the garbage they sold to us. If you are going to be strict about "field only paint" then make sure you are not charging $65 + for only one choice of paint that is worse than standard paint for $40 at fields that offer 3 choices in grades of paint.
I have "NO IDEA" how this place is getting so many 5 stars! My guess.... employees are posting comments to gain higher ratings. It may be the largest park in Virginia, but by far it's the worst!!! I visited the park for the very 1st (and LAST TIME) on Nov 18th for a big game. I called the park and was informed the gates would be opened between 7:30-8:00AM. There were probably an estimate of 10 vehicles park on the road waiting to get in, a worker didn't arrive till 8:45AM. Mind you the game was advertised with a 8 AM start registration. Also to note, after I parked and went into the registration the worker couldn't even open the register and begin check in. Are you kidding me! My biggest compliant.... their paint prices are "WAY OVERPRICED" for garbage paint. The park charged $65 for only 1 type of paint, and it was dimpled as a golf ball and would break in my barrel. If you have a higher end marker, your eyes will be covered in paint. I loaded up my marker, went into the chronograph area before hitting the field and was breaking paint in my 1st couple shots with a 68.9 bore. The park looks like a tailor park, and no one checks HPA tanks to see if hydro dates are good. That is very dangerous as a old tank could explode! My advice visit another park that are managed better, have employees that treat you like a valued customer, and offer reasonable prices. Visit other paintball parks such as Skyline Paintball, Hogback Mountain, and Pevs in the Northern Virginia area. Sorry Splatbrothers....your park is junk!
They treat you like family. Plus they have very fun maps for you and your friends to play paintball on. That was my first time playing paintball and I wouldn't go anywhere else.
