Welcome to the Yorkshire Outdoor Activity Park. Want to know more about us, then read on. We are your ultimate destination for outdoor adventures and excitement! We have been in the business of creating unforgettable experiences for our customers since 1988. Our team is dedicated to providing top-quality events and ensuring every visitor has a fantastic time at our park. Let us show you why we are the best choice for outdoor activities in the region!
Our Story Begins in 1988
We first started out as the Yorkshire Paintball Centre, set up in Hillam, North Yorkshire. Back then, we were only the third paintball centre in the UK! After nine months in Hillam, we moved to our current home in Escrick, near York, where we now have a beautiful 100-acre woodland.
A Legacy of Top-Quality Events
From the very beginning, we have been committed to hosting the best events for our customers. One of our proudest achievements was hosting the UK’s biggest paintball game, called “War of the Roses,” in 1992. This event had over 360 players and our record held strong for 20 years!
Evolving with the Times
Over the years, we have adapted and grown to meet the changing demands of our customers. We started with Splatmaster pistols that used 12g CO2 powerlets and 10-shot paintball tubes. In 1994, we switched to pump-action paintball guns, and in 2004, we upgraded to semi-automatic paintball guns. Our commitment to innovation is what keeps us at the forefront of the industry.
Pioneering the Digital Age
We have always been ahead of the curve when it comes to technology. In 1995, we created our first-ever website, making us one of the first 400 UK businesses to have an online presence. This early adoption of technology helped us reach more customers and expand our services.
Home to the World’s Biggest Paintball Bridge
In 2006, we built the world’s largest purpose-built paintball bridge, measuring over 300 feet long and 50 feet high. This incredible structure remains the centre piece of our venue, attracting visitors from all over the UK and beyond. To know more about us, you have to know about the world famous YPC Bridge.
Meet Our Owner, Andy Hollywood
Andy Hollywood, our owner, has been playing competition paintball since 1988. His passion for the sport has taken him all around the world and at all levels. One of the highlights of his paintball career was playing in the world’s biggest paintball game in Moscow in 2013, with over 8,000 players! Andy’s dedication and love for paintball and outdoor activities have shaped our park into the amazing destination it is today.
Expanding Our Offerings
In 2013, we introduced a junior version of paintball for kids aged 10-12. Since then, we have added even more activities to our park, including Airsoft, Gelball, Archery, Battle Zone Archery, Air Rifle Shooting, Laser Tag for both kids and adults, Nerf Wars, and Yorkshire’s first-ever axe throwing range.
About us – A New Name for a New Era
