welcome to hilton park's website
Hilton Park was founded in 1986 as a paintball site and we have been using it for airsoft for over 2 years now. We
have grown from around 20 players to up to 100. In association with Phoenix Paintball (the sites' owners) and Airsoft Armoury Cannock, we hope to go on to even bigger and better things in the years to come. The site is continually added to, to
keep the games fresh for all players.
Site Backgorund Hilton Park was first founded in May 1986 as one of the UK's first paintball sites by Barry Fuggle.
It has flourished ever since and Phoenix Paintball now operate several sites throughout the UK and are one of the biggest
sponsors of tournament paintball in Europe. It is ideally located between the M6 and M54 motorways, giving easy access from
all directions. As for airsoft, my motives for using Hilton Park are manyfold. Firstly, I was there on the opening weekend
as a person keen to try this new paintball thing. After many years of watching paintball turn into a competetive sport, I
was eager to get back to get "back to basics", ie, tactical gaming. I had dabbled with airsoft gear from the mid 80's and
had always been keen on it. With 12 years of military experience behind me, I ditched paintball and decided to give airsoft
a try as a hobby, little realising how big it had gotten over the years. I chose to use Hilton Park because it's close to
where I live and I know the place inside out and quickly realised it's potential as an airsoft venue. Little did I realise
how big it would get!!! Hilton Park has had an H&S policy in place since 1989, a child protection policy since 1990
and is fully insured as well. Trained first aiders are always on site and we have a safety record second to NONE, it is also
a founding member of the UKPSF. I am very proud of this, having been a part of it since day one. Thanks for finding this site
and for taking a look.
