Downtown Picton
Ok, so maybe Picton isn't one of Canada's national landmarks, but former CFB Picton holds a little paintball gem that is worthy of everyone's attention. Say hello to Operation Craig, the site of a dilapidated and abandoned hospital turned prime paintball location.
For an example of gameplay at the facility, check out this antiquated Wolf's Den video:
When the building became inoperational, everything was left in place, and it supposedly adds quite the creepy setting to the hospital. Stories include the pediatric ward still including pictures of children on the walls, perfect for a survival horror scenario.
The facility recently ran into some problems, but word is that it will up and running as of this month. The former website is down and plagued with spammy pop-ups, so for more information on playing at this unique location contact Justin Pollard @613-476-7263 or via email here: info@impactscenarios.com.
This is a fantastic place to play, easily out-shining any indoor/outdoor facility in Ontario that i've seen. I was part of the last 24 hr game they had years ago, as well as training there with members of RMC. And you're bang on with the survival/horror/zombie angle, it is a seriously creepy place in the dark to play at.
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome, it's officially on my list of places to go. How organized are the events normally?
ReplyDeleteGreat find Connor! This place looks sick. If you find out when the next big game is, let the boys know & we should make a road trip there. Its not far from the Capital. Finally a place where I can use my urban camo w/o Machine Gun Gatti busting my balls.
ReplyDeleteApparently there is a new name for the facility, Prince Edward Recreation or something, I'll drop the proprietors a line. This would make for a great road trip. :)
ReplyDeleteFar as I know they're open every weekend, however I do't know of any organized game/sceanrio as of yet, we're deffinetly interested, and may look into hosting our own there at some point if all works out.
ReplyDeleteIt's open and the grand opening game should b huge!! Join the facebook group called prince Edwards recreational zone

ReplyDeleteInops was there 2 weeks ago. Place is still being cleaned up, but it's looking great! Also, the use of high grade Valken Graffiti balls at a decent price , ($90/box) was fantastic, espically for our mag fed guns. Staff and refs were great as well. This will be THE place to play in Ontario once they get the other buildings opened.
ReplyDeleteKeeps on sounding better and better, anyone know when it's closing down for the season?
