Commando Action Center

Commando Paintball Action Centre is located just a 25-minute drive east of downtown Ottawa, near the village of Navan, on 47 hectares (115 acres) of countryside.

Ten Unique Battlefields to Conquer

The heart of Commando lies in its ten distinct playing fields, each crafted to offer a different tactical experience. Players can storm the beaches and navigate the intricate village of the Naval Base, a sprawling field complete with bridges, towers, trucks, boats, and a communications depot. For those seeking a steep challenge, Hamburger Hill offers a grueling 2-acre climb with wooded terrain and tall barricades. Other fields include the revamped Bone Yard for close-quarters action, the Bush Ball field with 45 man-made barricades, the Classic field for traditional play, the Army Base with its mix of open and wooded areas featuring towers and vehicles, and the D-Day field where teams launch from barges on the water. The airsoft-only field spans 20 acres and is packed with bunkers, buildings, vehicles, and stacked shipping containers, creating a truly immersive military simulation environment.

Games for Every Style and Skill Level

The club offers a wide range of activities that go well beyond standard paintball. Traditional paintball is available alongside low-impact paintball, which uses 50-caliber paintballs and lower-pressure markers — a great option for younger or newer players. Bazooka Ball is a unique, mess-free game using soft sponge balls, perfect for children as young as four. For those who prefer precision and realism, the dedicated airsoft field operates every Saturday and Sunday during the season, with MILSIM Nights adding an extra layer of tactical depth. Speedball fans will find fast-paced action on dedicated fields, and Gellyball rounds out the offerings with a low-impact, high-volume shooting experience. Popular game modes include Elimination, King of the Hill, and Capture the Flag, with referees guiding groups through multiple fields during a session.

Built for Celebrations and Team Building

Commando is a natural fit for a wide variety of group events. Birthday parties are a staple here, with packages tailored for kids, teens, and adults. The facility is also a popular choice for bachelor and bachelorette parties, hockey team celebrations, and youth group outings. Corporate clients frequently book the venue for team-building events, where groups of 20 or more can have a field entirely to themselves. The staff works with organizers to customize scenarios that focus on communication, strategy, and teamwork. For groups smaller than 20, players are paired with or against other teams, ensuring a full and lively experience. The club also hosts the annual D-Day scenario event, which draws participants from across the region.

Experienced Staff and a Welcoming Atmosphere

The team at Commando is frequently praised by visitors for their professionalism, friendliness, and fairness. Each group is assigned a field marshal who provides a thorough safety briefing and training session before escorting the group from field to field. All field marshals are CPR and First Aid certified, and an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is kept on-site. The owners, Dave and Marie, are often mentioned in reviews for their hands-on approach and dedication to keeping the fields clean and well-maintained. Referees like Matt have earned a reputation for making the experience enjoyable for players of all ages, ensuring that rules are enforced with a focus on fun and safety above all else.

A Place to Relax and Recharge Between Battles

Between games, players and spectators can take advantage of the facility’s comfortable amenities. A large covered seating area with several picnic tables is centrally located next to a lake, offering ample shelter from both rain and summer heat. This spot serves as a natural gathering place for groups to eat lunch, celebrate a birthday, or simply debrief after an intense match. Visitors are welcome to bring their own food and non-alcoholic beverages, and the lakeside picnic spots make for a pleasant break. Dogs on leashes are also welcome, adding to the relaxed, community-oriented feel of the property. The combination of wooded terrain, open fields, and waterfront views gives the whole place the atmosphere of a sprawling outdoor adventure park rather than a simple paintball range.
