Epic Paintball to relocate to Northwest Tenth Street site; owner reports cleanup and tree work
Summary
Epic Paintball owner told the Riverfront Redevelopment Authority June 17 the business is relocating to 8700 Northwest Tenth Street, has cleared about 1 acre of an approximately 1.5-acre site, and is removing dumped debris and homeless encampment material before opening, with a move expected in the fall weather permitting.
Randall Coles, owner of Epic Paintball Park, gave a quarterly update June 17 saying the park will move from its current I-40 and Morgan Road site to 8700 Northwest Tenth Street.
Coles said crews have begun tree raising and stump work, cleared about 1 acre of roughly 1.5 acres for fields, and are removing significant dumped debris including tires, cabling and what he described as homeless debris. He showed photos of cleared areas and said chipping and stump removal were delayed by rain; a heavy chipper became stuck during clearing but was later recovered.
Coles described planned field layouts and said one planned amenity, an ax-throwing feature, is on hold due to financing. He said the speedball fields require tree removal and that work will continue as weather allows; he said he aims to move in the fall but could not give a firm date.
The authority accepted the Epic Paintball quarterly update. No formal roll-call vote or mover/second names were recorded in the transcript.
