Black Ops Paintball & Airsoft

Black Ops Paintball & Airsoft sits on River Road in Fayetteville, North Carolina, roughly ten minutes from Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg). Founded in 2012 by combat veterans, it has grown from a modest 10-acre park into one of the state’s largest tactical recreation destinations, spanning hundreds of acres of fields and facilities.

Born From Military Roots

The story of this place begins with combat veterans who wanted to bring the discipline, teamwork, and adrenaline of tactical training to the public in a safe, welcoming setting. That heritage still shapes everything on the property today, from the way games are organized to the emphasis on safety briefings and refereed play. It is a place where newcomers and seasoned players alike are treated with the same patience and respect. The veteran ownership also means a genuine understanding of what makes a good field. Rather than resting on its early success, the team keeps expanding and refining the playing areas, adding new environments and scenarios so that regular visitors always have something fresh to discover. It is a living, evolving facility rather than a static one.

Fields Built for Every Style of Play

The property offers a remarkable variety of terrain. Paintball players can test themselves on regulation speedball fields, navigate woodsball arenas, push through hyperball courses, and clear rooms in a mock-up city built for tactical realism. Airsoft enthusiasts get their own dedicated space, including the indoor Tippmann CQB arena and more than forty acres of outdoor playfields, with staging at the “Elite Force Pavilion” outfitted with picnic tables and fans. Because the grounds are so large, no two visits need to feel the same. Some fields are shared between paintball and airsoft players to accommodate everyone, and the sheer number of distinct environments means groups can rotate through different challenges throughout the day. Whether you prefer fast-paced speedball or slow, methodical woods play, there is a corner of the property built for you.

More Than Just Paintball

While paintball is the heart of the operation, the club has grown well beyond a single sport. Airsoft is a full second offering with its own rental packages and fields, and the facility also runs gel blaster play — a low-impact, mess-free option using water-filled gellets that is especially popular with younger players, roughly ages four and up. It is a gentle introduction to the sport for kids who are not quite ready for full paintball. For those who bring their own gear or want to upgrade, there is a large 3,000-square-foot pro-shop stocked with markers, paint, masks, and accessories from well-known brands. The facility also provides 4,500 psi air fills, commercial bathrooms, and high-end rental options for both paintball and airsoft, so players can show up empty-handed and still have a full day of action.

Parties, Groups, and Celebrations

This is a favorite spot for birthdays, and the team clearly knows how to handle a celebration. Beyond standard birthday parties, the facility welcomes bachelor and bachelorette parties, graduations, weddings, corporate outings, and large social gatherings. A dedicated party room can seat over a hundred people, and reserved groups get their own picnic tables for dining and cake. Groups can book private parties with exclusive fields and a dedicated referee, or join open play alongside other customers. The staff is experienced at guiding first-timers through their very first paintball or airsoft adventure, and they are equally comfortable hosting seasoned veterans. Military personnel, EMTs, police, and firefighters receive a discount with ID, a fitting nod to the club’s roots.

Comfort Between Battles

Between rounds, the facility is set up to keep groups comfortable and fed. Large picnic tables are available both indoors and out, and there are outdoor cast-iron grills for those who want to cook out during their visit. A fridge and freezer are available to store cakes and ice cream, and the large party room provides a sheltered space for meals, gifts, and downtime. The whole experience is designed so that a visit can easily fill an entire day. With all-day play options, on-site amenities, and a pro-shop for any last-minute needs, groups can arrive in the morning and stay through the afternoon without ever having to leave the property. It is a complete outing in one place, built around good company and good-natured competition.
