At Bing Field we require all paintball markers to be set (chronographed)
at no higher than 300 feet per second. At this speed the feeling
is very similar to being snapped by a rubber band.
Bing Field is open from Saturday and Sunday for open
play. During these times, you can come by yourself or
bring some friends and jump in with the other players at the
park. If you're going to bring 10 or more friends, you
also have the option of making your group a private reservation. In a private reservation
we will assign you your own referee, and you and your friends
will only play against each other. For private
reservations the Bing Field is available 24 hours a day 7 days a
week. The cost is the same per player as open play.
You can call (800) 220 - 5442 Monday through Saturday 10:00
am to 9:00 pm, or on Sunday 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. Reservations
may also be made through this website by filling out the
reservation form.
We recommend a long sleeve shirt, long pants, and rubber
cleats or tennis shoes. The paintballs are made with with water
soluble non-toxic paint and will not stain most clothing. The
Bing Field has a full onsite snack bar, but your are also welcome
to bring your own food or drinks if you would like.
At the Bing Field you can bring your own paintball gun,
goggles and other playing equipment. Your goggles must be
manufactured specifically for paintball and they must have a
full face mask and ear protection. Paintballs may be purchased
at either of the two area BingShop retail locations or from the
pro-shop located at the field.
