Velocity Paintball Park

If you like woodsball this is your spot! The staff is very nice, helpful, and friendly.

I called to ask about a groupon deal that I was thinking of buying. I said I believed it had the low impact type of paintballs and guns. The employee immediately said no it doesn’t have low impact. I told him okay, well I will check the groupon before I buy it because I thought it said something about low impact. I also asked if the group on did in fact include low impact would they honor it. The employee said no and continued rudely and interrupt me stating again with a small chuckle that he knew for sure the groupon did not offer the low impact and said in a snide way «but okay, go ahead and check». I felt like he was very argumentative and I asked for the supervisor. Again, he said in a rude manor, «I am the supervisor». Before hanging up I stated that he was very rude and argumentative and just lost a customer. I’ve been in customer service for over 20 years now and have never ever treated any perspective client or customer this way. I was planning on booking a birthday party but this first impression is not a great one and the face of the business «supervisor» shows me that I would not get the service I would be paying for. What a shame!

I’ve been here many times over the years and overall, it’s a great place. There’s typically a great turnout, they have a great field layout, and the prices are about average compared to other parks. That said, I do find it irritating that they will charge you a fee for not buying their paintballs when you register. I play often, so I usually have plenty of paint leftover from my previous trips when I arrive. Most of my leftover paint is usually originally purchased at this park. However, unless I buy a new case immediately when I register for the day, I’m forced to pay extra for admission.
Another con of this park is that we’re always told that certain fields (like hyperball) are off limits to walk-​on players, regardless of the group size.
One thing that separates this park from others is that the staff are very friendly and genuinely care about safety and making sure everyone has a good time. Unlike other parks, the staff make it easy for everyone, regardless of skill, to understand everything you need to know to play the game. They also do have a much wider selection of paintballs to purchase, while other parks typically have one or two.
Great place. I will drive the extra distance every time to come here, even though some places are a bit closer.

Last time I was there, I accidentally lost my airsoft pistol and holster while playing. One of the young ladies working there (can’t remember her name) suggested I leave my name and number in case they found it. A few weeks later I received a call saying that they had found it and that I could pick it up at the field or at the store. I also want to mention that every time I’ve played there it’s always well organized and they really put attention to player safety. I’ve been to another field here in San Diego and kids and adults are firing their guns in the staging area and no one says or does anything about it. A big thanks to Velocity. I hope to be there again soon.

I have played at most of the fields in so cal and this is one of my favorites. Price reasonable and match other regional fields. Paint is fresh and there are various grades to buy. Allows you to bring your own paint, but sells good paint at the retail price. Sorts groups by skill levels. Advanced and beginner games. Enforces safety! Will have a good time if you go there. Air fills are to 4500. They have scenario games in the fall and winter that are a blast. I used to hate these types of events until I started playing scenario games years ago at velocity. Overall, a great place to play, owners at the park on the weekends to ensure everything is running smooth.

It rained the day we went, which added to our excitement. I will say that our ref was super cool, not a deuce like many refs can be at parks I have been too and totally wanted to get us as many games in as possible. However, the customer service from one lady (I couldn’t catch her name) was terrible. She was extremely rude and completely acted like she didn’t want to be there. I don’t write reviews often, but this lady made it worth my time to write one.

this place is amazing. granted, i’ve never been paintballing before, so i have nothing to compare it to, but i went today with a group of 30, and it was INSANE.
our group showed up at 9AM and finished a bit after 2PM. we played multiple rounds on different terrain levels along with various objectives (team battle, capture the flag, death match). between changing terrains, we took 15 minute breaks, and we also had a lunch break; there are picnic tables and the staff is cool with us bringing food from outside (we brought pizza and ice chests full of water and gatorade).
speaking of staff, everyone working there was very friendly and extremely helpful. they helped me fill my airtank, gave me a few tips on what to do out in the field, and a couple staff members remained with us the entire time to make sure we stayed safe. i really liked that.
not sure what else i should include — again, this was my very first paintballing experience. im a bit disappointed in myself for not going sooner, i have friends who used to work at a paintballing place for YEARS and they always asked me to go. i guess i was just being shy, nervous… stupid (haha). any way. i had a blast today and can’t wait to do it again. not sure what other paintballing locations i would/​should check out, i had such a good time at Velocity, it would be hard to go elsewhere. thanks again.

Horrible customer service and organization. Only reason they’re not getting zero stars is due to the Ref, who was super cool/​patient and the courses were good.
***They were late opening the gates @ 0800. We had to park out on the street and wait
***They said that we could check-​in and grab our rentals early before 0900 so we can start on time. They didn’t open the window early.
***There are no signs for parking. So some people started parking and they were yelled at by the staff not to park there because it was employee parking. How about saying «Excuse me. Do you mind parking over there, please? We save this area reserved for our employees. Thank you so much». (In a POLITE tone). Amateurs run this place I swear. Don’t bring bad days to work.
***We came as a group of 18 with over 90% Military participants and they wanted to charge the ENTIRE group the standard price (which wasn’t communicated when we first reserved the day, a week in advance). The guests were family members, kids that they brought along. They pretty much argued with me about the price, saying that I was wrong. Even though I had the original message stating otherwise. The staff does not know how to deal with customers.
***No Military Discount when you buy extra paintballs here, like other establishments provide. Very disappointing!
***After I left (driving home) I received a call saying they forgot to run the charges on my credit card for the extra paintballs so they’ll have to run the card AGAIN. No military discount — No organization!
Other than that we made it a fun day. They have great courses/​fields if only the Staff can get their act together.
We want to organize another paintball day but most likely won’t return to this park… left a bad taste in our mouths!

Been here a few times for walk-​on so I’ve gotten a good lay of the land:
Pros:
Good turnout on weekends, always a bunch of players
Staff seemed friendly and helpful
Everyone was on top of the barrel plug and mask on safety requirement
Cons:
Poorly marked field boundaries
Refs getting pushed around by experienced players led to uneven teams and a lot of unhappy first timers
Field of play rules need to be enforced better (start in your box, no paint wiping, dead men don’t talk, etc.)
Lot of potential here with a few small fixes.

For a place that has been here for a while, I expected more amenities. Referees don’t communicate well and the fields are not clearly marked. There is no structure to their system my and it just seemed like chaos.

Had lots of fun. Except the have a few new ref’s. There was a dude playing that kept putting his gun on semiauto and it was totally obvious even too a noob like me. Look out for Raza (the jersey the kid always wears) he wipes and ramps. Take him out early and you’ll have a good time. Ref’s really need to step up there game but they are still good guys and very nice. All the other staff are really cool. They are very helpful and know how to fix markers. BRING AND PAY IN CASH! Help keep the prices low for us all!

We had our son’s 13^th birthday here on a Saturday and it was AWESOME!!! We had our own ref for the day and only played each other. The courses are super fun and varied.
The food was also good and the prices were very reasonable. All of the staff were friendly and they made us feel like VIPs.
We are already planning our next group event.

Me and a friend went to go play on their $ 5 Friday, and they closed early at 4pm after we waited for 2 hours! Me and my buddy drove out from MIra Mesa, and 3 other guys there drove all the way from El Cajon. The five of us were happy to give a total of $ 120 for paintballs, admission and rentals, but instead we drove out there for nothing. I get that they would prefer to have more players come out before they open up, but I know other fields would not turn paying players away. Needless to say I’m bitter now, and the 5 of us will be going elsewhere from now on. Check out Mr. Paintball or the new field on the Marine Base Miramar for better customer service.

This review is from a parents perspective that brought kids, this review is probably useless to you commando paint baller types that I saw up there over the weekend.
Brought 5 boys (age 13 years) up for the day using a groupon and upon arriving its a little intimidating seeing grown men in full decked out cammo fatigues and paint ball ammo canisters strapped all over their bodies. Looks like the set of a Rambo movie.
Once we got past the initial shock of seeing this spectacle of wanna be Rambos, we made our way to the check in area. The staff were very friendly and very accommodating by checking my boys gear and ensuring that safety was the most important aspect to their experience. The staff pulled the boys aside and explained all the rules, safety requirements, and provided rental gear for those that didn’t have it. They answered all their questions and made them feel comfortable so that they, too, felt like they belonged there.
The staff called all the «walk on’s» together, established teams, and then paraded them to the field. The refs were engaged and watched the event very closely. After the first set of battles my boys came back a little intimidated because they were going against men that had much better equipment and more experience. One of the staff members came over to talk with them (I cant recall his name) and really got their spirits back up and got them really excited for the next battle. As the day progressed my boys really got into it and were having a great time and even shared «battle stories» with many of the adults they were fighting against. Clearly many of the adults take this game seriously, but I also saw that they were helpful to my «newbie» 13 year old boys. We stayed the entire day and we closed the place down. My boys had a great time.
Great staff, fantastic fields, and a fun experience for my 13 year old boys. Be aware that ammo up there was $ 40 a box for 2000 rounds and we easily went through 2 boxes during our time that day. We set limits with the boys and they made the rounds last the whole day.
Only recommendation is to have battles that are more suited to skill level rather than mixing all skill levels together. May have just been the day we were up there that they were doing this but it can be intimidating to young kids that are new to this activity.

This park is very well laid out. I highly recommend this park for it’s variety and chill staff. Not much more you need than here if you’re just starting or seasoned. Bathrooms are portables like I assume most places are so be aware of that. The fields are pretty well balanced. They let you bring your own paint if you don’t want to buy there which might be a touch priced higher because it makes good business sense. They balance teams in the parking lot if you’re afraid of being run over by the cool kids in fancy gear. Bring a lot of water

Velocity Paintball has become a big name in the San Diego/​SoCal paintball scene. Besides the regular weekend walk on play they host several big game scenario paintball events a year. They vary in theme (christmas, revolutionary war, battle of mt suribachi, hunger games and etc). They have continued to grow and expand. I have played paintball for several years and my biggest concern is always safety enforcment and proper training of a referee. I have to say Velocity hits both targets right on the money. A good day of paintball can fall apart if safety (weapon velocity enforced at a safe setting and proper safety rules by refs) is not there. A lot of this falls on the refs. They are the face of the business who work with the players and ensure the rules are being met. I always look forward to playing at Veocity because I know the staff will do their best to make sure everyone has a good time and any concerns are met with courtesy and an open mind.
The fields are plentyful and maintained well. There is a food cart that shows up on the weekend to sale basic choices. The only downside if any is that the field is out in the country and the restrooms are porta potties. Just know that going into it.
Keep up the good work guys.

We surprised my husband with a trip here for his birthday. MAN we stuck out! I didn’t realize that a lack of camo would really hurt my cred here, and two teammates in a pink shirt and plaid shorts really didn’t help… but SO much fun!
Bought the full 2,000 shots and played for 6hrs. So sore two days later, with some beautiful purple welts to show for my kamikaze runs to the front of the line (and a few in my back, thanks to some poor shooting on my teammates’ part). The fields were awesome– in our 6 hours we went full circle through at least 5 different fields– some with a bunch of trenches, others with stick-​piles good for hiding, others in sparse eucalyptus forests. It’s impossible to get bored, especially with all the hardcore USMC threatening to shoot you in the back!
Wish the crowd was a bit more chill (not sure if I’d recommend this to kids.), but our day has definitely inspired me to paint-​ball a bit more and maybe even buy my own gun. Awesome new hobby!

I come here to kick some… well paint the town any other then red because those paintball colors are illegal. This is the spot to try out different size maps, terraines and games. I started here as a noob and slowly built up my hp to become more stealthy and accurate. The rentals are good but if you have your own equip bring it because it lessens the cost of admissions.
We usually do private party games because you never know the variety of levels you get when playing walk-​ons.
The refs are down to earth and really read the players style and game play to suggest certain fields and games for the teams to play. We often play capture the flag, scenario gameplay or hyperball.
Since it is in Ramona, it can get hella hot out there depending the time of day and season you go, and if it rains, you still play.
They are always adding or changing every couple of months so it’s nice going back to play a «new» field. The only thing that sucks is it’s a very male dominated sport… so where’s my ladies at?

Go here every other weekend or whenever I can! $ 20 admission if you have your own gear and $ 40 for 2000 paintballs. $ 60 for all day fun. 14 courses, 40 acres. Woodsball, speedball, you name it! You can bring your own paint or buy paint there. They do have events for pump guns only if you’re into that. This is the only course I’ll go to!
p. s. no paint grenades.

FUN!
As a beginner playing for the first time, I had a lot of fun (regardless of how noob I am compared to the other experienced players). I love how you can pretty much rent everything you need here, without having to pay a super high price for each thing. $ 35 for admission, goggles, and gun rental is pretty worth it, I’d say.
Friendly customer service AND friendly customers there too! Many give good tips and help you if you have any questions.
Even though I returned home with some nasty rainbow bruises and a bump on the side of my head, I would definitely come here to play again.
