Paintball in Columbus, OH

LVL UP Sports Paintball Park sits in Grove City, about 15 miles south of downtown Columbus and Ohio State University, spread across a 36-acre property on Harrisburg Pike.

The park offers ten distinct playing fields, from two-story castles and army trucks to six acres of woods and a tournament-style speedball course. Guests can join public games every Saturday and Sunday without a reservation, or book a private group seven days a week with a dedicated staff host. Traditional paintball, low-impact paintball for younger players, airsoft by reservation, and after-dark Glowball under a UV arena round out the options.

Private party packages cover birthdays, bachelor parties, church outings, and corporate team building, with flat rates that include rental gear, access to all maps, and paintballs. A large covered pavilion with picnic tables is free for parties, guests can bring their own food or have it delivered, and a fully stocked pro-shop carries gear and upgrades. The staff are consistently praised for their safety focus and welcoming approach to first-timers.

SplatterPark sits in Mount Gilead, Ohio, in Morrow County roughly an hour north of downtown Columbus, on a 40+ acre rural site the brand has called home since 2000.

The park offers 13 themed outdoor paintball and airsoft battle zones, with fields built around cargo crates, a castle, a crashed plane, hillsides, creeks, and trees. Game modes include Capture the Flag, Elimination, Domination, King of the Hill, and survival scenarios, plus the legendary Big Game event. Open play runs on weekends with no reservations, and all skill levels are welcome with full equipment rentals, professional referees, and safety briefings included.

Private groups of ten or more can book the entire facility for birthdays, corporate team building, bachelor and bachelorette parties, church and youth groups, and family outings, with a dedicated referee, private shelter, and covered pavilion. A concession stand, discounts for groups, and the option to bring your own food round out the experience. Players aged ten and up are welcome, and the friendly staff keeps safety and fun at the center of every visit.
