Operation Paintball

A Local Paintball Field South of Tacoma

Operation Paintball is located in Graham, Washington, in Pierce County south of Tacoma, on Jansky Road East. The field has served the Graham area for more than twenty years and calls itself a premier facility for local players. Its pitch is that you don’t have to be Rambo to have fun, and its appeal is lots of action and a chance to make new friends.

Four Themed Fields From Jungle Forts to an Urban Block

The park has four unique fields built on themes, ranging from jungle courses with tree forts to an urban field with cars and a two-story house. Games are played in a park-like atmosphere, and the layouts give players a choice between woods, forts, and city-style cover. Classic game formats include capture the flag, elimination, and center flag. A reviewer showed a photo of play in the snow, which fits the field’s promise to run rain or shine all year.

First-Timers and Groups Are the Specialty

The park says first-time players and groups are its specialty, and it offers special packages for any event. Rental gear and paint are on site, so a beginner can arrive with nothing and be ready to play. Staff are described as experienced and friendly, and the field welcomes players from high school students to retirees. The dress code is simple: no shorts or sandals.

Walk-On Weekends and Private Groups Seven Days a Week

Walk-on play is open every Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm, with no reservation for small groups. Private group sessions are available any day of the week by reservation, with a private field reserved for the group. Rental packages cover the marker, mask, all-day air, and the field fee, with different amounts of paint to choose from. Military members receive 10% off rental packages and cases of paint with an ID.

Birthdays, Bachelor Parties, and Team Building

The park offers packages for birthday parties, bachelor parties, and corporate team-building and stress-reduction events. Private group packages come with 500 or 1,000 paintballs per player, or a three-hour session with 4,000 paintballs for up to 14 players. A non-refundable deposit holds a reservation, and the balance is paid at the field.
