Gladiator Paintball Park is a dedicated outdoor combat sports facility offering paintball, gellyball, airsoft, nerf wars, axe throwing, and specialty events. The park runs daytime games from 9am–5pm for most activities and schedules targeted events such as monthly Saturday Night Glow sessions and Sunday‑only airsoft. Rental packages include entry, compressed air, gear, and paintballs so newcomers can jump into all‑day play without bringing equipment.
Party packages cater to groups of all ages with private referees, themed fields, and 90 minutes of supervised action followed by time to eat and celebrate. Safety is a priority: trained referees conduct briefings, enforce protective gear, and maintain field rules to ensure controlled, fun gameplay. Options for low‑impact play and kid‑friendly Nerf or Gellyball make the park accessible to families, while competitive players can use the full Killhouse CQB experience or bring their own equipment for advanced matches.
Facilities and staff support both casual drop‑in days and organized events. Clear rental options and walk‑on entry simplify booking, and dedicated event days—like Glow nights and the Killhouse event—offer unique experiences for repeat visitors. Gladiator Paintball Park provides a structured, memorable environment for birthday parties, corporate team‑building, youth groups, and individual players seeking adrenaline‑filled outdoor recreation.
