Sharjah paintball park opens

Sharjah: Shaikh Abdullah Bin Mohammad Al Thani, Chairman of Sharjah Airport International Free Zone, inaugurated the biggest Paintball Park in the Middle East at the Sharjah Golf and Shooting Club late on Wednesday.

The Paintball Park includes a new building that is comprised of two floors with the ground floor having a military hangar theme with a main reception and registration desk, a cafe by Grab'N'Go, a pro shop selling paintball accessories, male and female changing rooms, showers, lockers and briefing rooms.

The Park's two new fields are a new concept in the UAE — one field is a replica of the city of London, where a London taxi and a Rolls Royce create a typical London atmosphere, along with a replica of Hyde Park, and other famous London landmarks such as Harrods, The Ritz and several others.

The field has a built-in sound system, ultra violet lights for exciting "glow in the dark" games at night. Everything will be monitored by CCTV to be watched live by people outside the field. The second field is designed as a bank and will be used for a new concept which is a first in the UAE known as CQC (Close Quarter Combat). The field is furnished as the actual interior of a bank with desks, an ATM machine and a vault room and will also be monitored by CCTV.

The Park also includes three outdoor fields with airplanes, jeeps, bunkers and high towers.
