Area 52 is a good Paintball facility. Nice little pro shop. Scenario field has plenty of room and plenty of bunkers to have some epic games. Hyperball field has lots of bunkers, it is fun to play, has plenty of length although it is a bit narrow. The Speedball field is not a big one but is good for five on fives. Friendly employees and good refs.

The field was like home for a long time until other teams moved in and regulars who slaved to help the field were driven off. The old home team worked and lived by the field for the lost time and were kicked to the curb very easily. Shows how appreciative they were of our free work and dedication to the field. I will not be returning.

Pros: you play paintball?
Cons: owner is an *******
I have played here multiple times and every time the owner or his daughter is gone its usually a laid back fun time. Last year when they had a charity event I brought my fiance' to play she had only play rec once before and had a problem with the rental she had and the owner cursed at here and told her to basically get her own ****. Very disappointed and needless to say she never wants to go back. Overall not that bad of a field but ownership needs some management lessons
