The Only Paintball Field in the Flathead, MT Action Parks Opening June 8

The sport of paintballing is rapidly growing, but there are few places to play, especially in the Flathead Valley. About three fields have opened in recent years, but have not been sustained.  

   Owner, Sean Miller, trying out the new

   course with a few young friends.

The field is located just south of the waterslides in Columbia Falls on Highway 206. It sits on a 17 acre plot and is a scenario style course with tires, drums and bunkers. In the center of the course is an octagon; 1400 square feet in diameter with eight exterior walls, four interior walls and bunkers, which is a course inside the course for a fast paced, 360 degree play. There are two main bases on the field, which is 264 feet long by 164 feet wide.

Owner and founder of MT Action Parks, Sean Miller, started paintballing with friends in the woods. “I lost every game,” Sean laughed, “but it was really fun.” He and a friend built a small course in the woods. Friend Shaun Pandina approached Sean to look at his property for future design of a paintball field, and the two eventually partnered up on MT Action Parks.

 

"I saw a need in the valley not so much for the players with their own gear, but for the 98% of the people who don’t have their own gear and have always wanted to play paintball. God has opened all the doors for this to happen. I love paintball and I think it is the greatest game out there. You don't need to have any experience our even own your own gear. Anyone can come enjoy all of the benefits of paintball," said Sean.
