MOOSEJAWTODAY.COM — What started as a small family-run paintball facility on the outskirts of Moose Jaw just over a decade and a half ago has become one of the most popular spots for weekend fun in southern Saskatchewan.
Prairie Storm Paintball and Battle Creek Adventure Park have spent nearly 20 years steadily growing and improving, offering more and more activities and things to do -- and the summer of 2023 promises to be their biggest yet.
The centrepiece of the facility is the 20-acre paintball field featuring a series of interconnected maps, with each offering a different kind of challenge and look for players. Anyone looking to take up the game can rent markers, paintballs and protective equipment, with various pricing packages available.
Prairie Storm is hosting monthly drop-in battles this summer, taking place the last Saturday of every month. Folks can come out and play team deathmatch, domination, capture the flag and zombie versions of paintball, with $30 for 500 balls and a $10 field admission. Sessions run from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Then there’s the annual D-Day event that acts as a fundraiser for Joe’s Place, with the day featuring hundreds of players reenacting various battles between Allies and Axis forces from the Second World War
Regular booking are available from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., with the final booking at 6 p.m.
Battle Creek also offers the longest mini-golf course in Canada, with the 18-hole course open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily and available for tournament and event hosting.
Folks can also hang out in the recreation area and play some beach volleyball or just enjoy the sun.
Battle Creek continues to look at offering new activities, with Thunderdome Off-Road Racing their newest venture. The newly built multi-use racetrack features dune buggy racing, with the member-only club offering a host of different racing styles and types for folks looking to get their speed on. You can sign up for the club and book online on their website.
