Since the start of paintball in Southern California, there have been quite a few fields which have come and gone with the times.  Fields such as S.C.Village, I.S.W.G, Field Games, and War Zone all started the trend of paintball back in the early 80's, bringing a whole new sport to So. Cal. "weekend warriors".  Unfortunately, many of the old fields are no longer in existance except for S.C. Village.  Newer fields such as Conquest, Fields of Fury, Fields of Fire, The Jungle, Close Encounters, and Tombstone Paintball have come up in various Southern California areas, to provide players with all types of playing environments.  The following is a listing of some of the fields in your area for your paintball playing pleasure.
