Paintball Action Games

Paintball Action Games is located in Newark, Delaware, just off Old County Road, nestled in a scenic area that has been home to the sport for over four decades.

Where Strategy Meets the Great Outdoors

The club sits on more than 50 acres of carefully maintained land, making it Delaware’s largest woodsball park and the longest-operating paintball facility in the state. The natural terrain is the star here — thick wooded areas, open sightlines, and rolling landscapes create an immersive battlefield that feels a world away from everyday life. The fields are designed to challenge both the casual weekend player and the seasoned tactical veteran, with each offering a distinct flavor of play. The Red Field is a straightforward, fast-paced flag-capture course that rewards agility and quick thinking. The Orange Field is the largest, demanding constant communication and awareness as flanking maneuvers can turn the tide in an instant. The Green Field is dense and lush, with a notorious center choke point that forces teams to adapt and exploit weak spots under pressure. There is also a hyperball field for those looking for a more structured, speedball-style experience.

Games That Feel Like Real Adventures

The club specializes in classic woodsball scenarios that emphasize teamwork and immersion. Capture the Flag is a staple, but the staff also runs medic games, elimination rounds, and objective-based missions that keep every session fresh. Because teams are kept at a safe distance (roughly 30 feet apart), the games focus on strategy and marksmanship rather than close-contact play, making it a particularly welcoming environment for newcomers. The facility has built its reputation as Delaware’s most popular beginner-friendly paintball field. First-timers are given thorough safety briefings and are paired with experienced referees who guide them through the basics. At the same time, the variety of fields and scenarios ensures that returning players never run out of new challenges to tackle.

Built for Groups, Celebrations, and Team Building

Paintball Action Games is a natural fit for birthday parties, corporate outings, bachelor parties, and team-building events. The open-air setting encourages camaraderie and lighthearted competition, making it easy for coworkers, friends, or family members to bond over shared victories and good-natured defeats. The staff is accustomed to handling large groups and works with organizers to tailor the experience to the group’s skill level and goals. The club also offers group rates for parties of 15 to 20 or more, with advance booking and a deposit required. Players under 18 need a parent or guardian to sign a release form, which is standard practice for the sport.

Knowledgeable Staff and a Focus on Safety

Safety is a top priority at Paintball Action Games. The equipment is well-maintained, and the staff includes experienced referees who keep games running smoothly and fairly. The team has decades of collective experience in the sport, and their approach is described as welcoming and patient — especially with beginners. They provide camouflage gear, offer instruction, and are always on hand to answer questions or adjust the pace of play. The club has been accredited by the Better Business Bureau and has maintained a steady presence in the community for over 40 years, which speaks to the consistency and reliability of its operation.

Comfort and Amenities Between Battles

The facility includes a recreation area and a lounge space where players can relax, rehydrate, and strategize between rounds. Parking is available on-site, and there are restroom facilities for guests. While the focus is firmly on outdoor paintball, the presence of a comfortable lounge area means that groups can easily spend a full afternoon at the park without feeling rushed. It is a place where the experience extends beyond the game itself — a spot to share stories, laugh about close calls, and plan the next attack.
