Where to Play Airsoft in British Columbia in 2026
British Columbia has one of the most spread-out airsoft scenes in Canada. The Lower Mainland carries most of the weekly drop-in play, Vancouver Island runs on a strong club culture, and the Okanagan has grown fast over the last two seasons with new fields opening. What BC does not have is a single central directory — so we built one.
Every venue below was verified against the operator's own website or an official channel. Fees, hours and limits change, so always confirm directly before you drive out.
🏙️ Lower Mainland & Metro Vancouver
Panther Paintball & Airsoft Sports Park – Surrey
Type: Outdoor woodland
Address: 19022 16 Avenue, South Surrey, BC
The most consistent drop-in option in Metro Vancouver. Panther runs airsoft Saturdays and Sundays, 10:00 to 18:00, at $30 entry, and stays open year-round in any weather. Rental guns must be pre-booked online, and waivers are done in advance. Minimum age 10. The operation has been running for over 30 years, which in this industry counts for a lot.

Millionaire Paintball – Abbotsford
Type: Outdoor mixed — woodsball and CQB
Sunday airsoft games run 10:00–15:00 with gates opening at 09:30, $30 per player. The CQB field is the one most players come for. Rental gear is limited, so phone ahead. Private group games available. Schedule is posted through their Facebook group rather than the main site.

🌲 Vancouver Island
Outlaw Airsoft – Vancouver Island Airsoft Society (V.I.A.S.) – Victoria
Type: Compact outdoor CQB
Airsoft-dedicated and run by a member-funded society. The field is tight with fast respawns, which makes for a very different rhythm than the big woodland sites. Public gamedays require no membership.
Entry: $25 per person
Limits: 1.49 J standard, 2.23 J for bolt-action only. No yellow class at this field.
Rentals: Available
Payment: E-transfer or cash on gameday. Chrono on site.

Victoria Fish & Game Protection Association – Airsoft Discipline – Victoria
Type: Outdoor field games on club property
Address: 751 Trans-Canada Highway, Victoria, BC
Not a commercial field — an airsoft discipline inside an established fish and game club, running roughly every other Sunday. Worth knowing about because the rental packages make it one of the friendliest entry points on the Island for a first-timer.
Limits: Green class only, 1.49 J maximum muzzle energy.
Waiver: Required for everyone including spectators; parent or guardian signature under 19.
Age: Recommended minimum 12, younger welcome.

North Island Airsoft – Courtenay (Comox Valley)
Type: Outdoor
Address: 6227 Whitaker Road, Courtenay, BC
Airsoft-dedicated operation serving the Comox Valley, also listed in some directories as Comox Valley Airsoft Academy. Their Facebook and Instagram are the live channels — check there for current gameday cadence before making the drive.
🍇 Okanagan
The Okanagan has been the fastest-growing airsoft region in BC over the past two seasons, with multiple operations now running in the Kelowna area alone.
Airsoft Kelowna – Joe Rich Sportsman Association – Kelowna
Type: Mixed — forest, small fortifications and CQB
Address: 13620 Highway 33 East, Kelowna, BC
Game days twice monthly on Saturdays. Probably the best value in the province: $15 drop-in with no membership required, or a $25 annual membership that gets you discounted gamedays and rentals. Gear and gun rentals start at $10 per day. Events are announced through their Discord.
Website: joerich.org/airsoft-kelowna-club
BMAP Airsoft (Bull Mountain Airsoft) – West Kelowna
Type: Mixed — five indoor and outdoor maps
Address: Bull Mountain Adventure Park, 5000 Glenrosa Road, West Kelowna, BC
The newest venue on this list, operating inside an established adventure park and still adding maps and game formats. Online booking, and they take private and party bookings. Since they are in their first seasons, confirm limits and rental availability when you book.
Website: bmapairsoft.com
Legacy Adventure Airsoft – East Kelowna
Type: Outdoor
Airsoft-dedicated operation in East Kelowna. Instagram is the active channel for their game schedule.
🎯 Annual Events Worth Planning Around
Last Stand – 108 Mile Ranch
BC's flagship annual milsim event, held at Spruce Hill Resort in 108 Mile Ranch. The 2026 edition runs May 15–17, with hotel rooms or field camping available. This is not a standing field — it is a once-a-year weekend, and it sells out.

📚 Governing Body
The British Columbia Airsoft Marksmanship Federation (BCAMF) is the province's advocacy and governing organization. Worth following if you care about how airsoft is regulated in BC, and a good first stop if you are trying to organize something new.
🗺️ Regions Without a Verified Field
Being straight with you: we could not verify a currently operating airsoft field in Nanaimo, Kamloops, Prince George, or the Kootenays. Prince George has had an active community group in the past, but it appears dormant. If you run or know of a field in these areas, get in touch and we will add it — we would rather this list be accurate than long.
✅ Before You Go: The BC Checklist
- Confirm the gameday. Most BC fields run on a posted schedule rather than being open daily, and several announce through Discord or Facebook rather than their website.
- Know your class. BC fields are stricter than most about joule limits, and several are green-class only. Chrono your gun before you show up rather than getting turned away.
- Book rentals ahead. Every rental-equipped field on this list has a hard cap on sets — Richmond has 15 total. Walking in and hoping is how you spend a Saturday watching.
- Full-seal eye protection, always. Non-negotiable at every field in the province.
- Bring biodegradable BBs if you are playing outdoor woodland. Several fields require them.
🎒 Gear Up Before Your Next Game
Playing in BC means dealing with wet coastal weather most of the season, and gear that handles moisture is not optional. District Airsoft ships Canada-wide with free shipping over $150, and we run an in-house repair service if something breaks mid-season.
- Airsoft guns and replicas
- AEG rifles
- Sidearms and pistols
- BBs, gas and consumables
- Optics and sights
Keep This List Accurate
Fields open, close and change their schedules constantly. If you operate a BC field that is missing here, or you spot something out of date, contact us and we will update it. This page is maintained, not written once and forgotten.
