what should i bring with me?

At the Proving Grounds, we provide a fantastic playing surface for you to play on, covered staging areas, 4000psi + high pressure air fills each and every time we host a practice or event, and quality Procaps paintballs at reasonable rates. Please bring appropriate clothing and all your equipment, as well as adequate cash. In the spring and summer months, we have drinks and snacks available for sale, but in the off season, please bring your own refreshments. Please do not bring off field paintballs – you will not be allowed to use them. Make sure your tanks (HPA and CO2) are in date and properly hydro tested – we will check.

what shouldn't i bring with me?

We do not allow any drugs or alcohol on the premises. Do not bring your own paintballs. You will not be allowed to use them. This is because the sale of paintballs is built into our pricing structure, as well as for safety reasons. Please do not bring unsupervised children under the age of 12, or pets.

can i bring my own food?

Yes.

what is the maximum velocity allowed at the field?

The industry standard is below 300 fps but we prefer a speed around 280 fps when playing at TPG.

how do i get to the field?

If coming from Vancouver, taking highway 99, then highway 17 is the best route.

If coming from Surrey, taking highway 10 to Ladner Trunk Road and then turning left onto highway 17 is another route.

Getting to The Proving Grounds is like driving to the Tsawwassen ferry terminal. The only thing you do differently is turn left at Tsawwassen Drive, the last intersection before the stretch of road out to the actual ferry terminal. Remember: the field is PAST Splashdown Park.

can i get to the field by bus?

Yes there is a bus that goes right out to the Ferry Terminal. You will want the last stop before the Ferries. From most points in the Lower Mainland you will want a bus that goes to the Ladner Exchange. Then take the 640 towards the Ferry Terminal. We are at the corner of Highway 17 and Tsawwassen Drive.
