Welcome to the Yorkshire Outdoor Activity Park, the premier destination for Gelball games in Leeds, York, and Selby. We are dedicated to providing safe, fun, and exciting Gelball experiences for participants aged ten and up (School Year 5).
Are you planning a unique and memorable experience for a birthday party, get-together, or just a day out with friends and family? Our Gelball games at the Yorkshire Outdoor Activity Park are the perfect choice. Our experienced staff will ensure that you have a safe and fun experience. We have a full range of Gelball equipment, including guns, protective gear, and ammo, allowing you to play a fast-paced and realistic game.


The Gelball Gun
Brand new for 2024, our new Pump-Action Gelball Guns are superb. Approximately double the power of our old Gelball Guns, they not only fire further but also fire a 5-shot burst, so you have five times the chance of hitting your opponent with every shot.
These new Pump Action gelball guns have a paintball hopper fitted, holding 1000 rounds of ammo. Don’t worry about running out of ammo, though. We give unlimited ammo for the whole event, even with five gel balls per shot. If you run out mid-game, ask the marshal for a refill.
Our new Pump Action Gelball Guns fire faster than our Junior Paintball guns, which are ideal for ages 10 to adult. We also now have a Junior Gelball event for ages 8-10 years (School year 3-5)


What is Included in the Gelball Package?
The £22.50 per participant includes entry to Yorkshire Outdoor Activity Park and all equipment needed to play the game, including:
High-Powered Pump Action Gelball Gun
Unlimited Rounds of Ammo per player
Paintball Goggles
Camouflage Coverall

Food for your event
If you want to simplify things, we can provide food for your event in one of our themed party rooms for only £5 per person. The food includes a large American-style hot dog, a packet of crisps and a drink. If you have vegetarian guests or have food allergies, you can bring your food for them. Your £5 will be refunded on the day for these players.
If you want to bring your own food, you can hire one of the themed party rooms for only £30.


How do the Gelball games work?
Players engage in team-based games, like paintball or airsoft, where they shoot each other with the gel balls. The guns used in gelball are ultra reliable and shoot the gel balls at velocities that are safe for recreational play. After the full safety briefing, each player is issued a Camouflage Coverall, a pair of Paintball Goggles, and the all-important Pump Action Gelball Gun. Then, it’s out into the woods for your Gelball event! In each 90-minute session, your group will play three games. Each participant will be given unlimited rounds of ammo per game. They will never run out.
4 Tips for Winning at Gelball
Use cover: Like in other team-based shooting games, avoiding getting hit is essential. Stay behind cover as much as possible and move strategically to avoid being seen.
Communicate with your team: Communication is vital in team-based games like gelball. Make sure you can communicate with your team through walkie-talkies or a team chat app, and keep your team informed about enemy positions and your movements.
Aim for the body: Aim for the biggest target, so aim for the body rather than trying for headshots or other difficult shots. Focus on hitting your opponent’s torso or legs to increase your chances of hitting them.
Play fair and respect others: Gelball is a fun and social activity, but it’s important to play fair and respect your fellow players. Follow the game’s rules, don’t cheat or engage in unsportsmanlike behaviour and always treat others respectfully.
Arrival Time
Everyone must arrive around 15 – 30 minutes before the start time. You must be present for the safety briefing because if you miss it, you will not be allowed to participate on the day. Additionally, being on time means we can start on time, and all games will be full-length.
