Customer comments from their experience at Wild Park Leisure

...Can I say a BIG THANK YOU to Jody and the team for making our day with you special, we came on the 26th of April at 2pm. Jody was really fantastic. we had two lads with us James 13 and Matthew 15 and Jody spent time talking us through the course we were to face the lads started off with little confidence but soon got the hang of it with Jody patience. It was great that he could take that bit of extra time with them they came away with the confidence boost they needed especially James' also my sister was pleased with herself.

...Just a quick word to compliment you on the new conference facilities. As you know we held our partners meeting there last month and it proved to be a first class venue. Easy access, plenty of parking, a really good sized room and excellent catering – we will certainly use your facility as our main meeting location for the foreseeable future. Paul Duffin Smithcooper - 10th October 2007

...Just a quick note to say thanks for helping us have a great time on Saturday. I've been to Wild Park Leisure a few times now and every time I go it's more enjoyable than the last. We're planning to come again for a joint birthday in April, even though you'll make me do the Stag run again! The bruises are worth it. Thanks again. Mat Hayward - 17th September 2007

...Dear Jody and colleagues. Just like to say a big thankyou to you all for making my birthday treat such a success. Being a total novice to quad biking, I was very impressed , not only with your safety briefing, but also the equipment used. Your instruction was very thorough not only at the start but through out the whole session. My son in law and I had a brilliant time and we have no hesitation in returning at some time in the future, for a repeat performance. Thanks again - Phil Aspley 28th April 2007

Have a lovely new year - Elaine Betts 28th December 2006

...Hi Jodie and Jenny, I just wanted to drop you a line to say a "big thank you" for your hospitality on Sunday. Kate and her two friends Shawna and Gareth had a fantastic day out and I have never heard three 16 years olds rave about a good day out as long as they did! In fact they're all going to save up to come back and do it again after Christmas! I must say, I enjoyed myself too, and will definitely be back with my family, I can't recommend you enough, it beats the socks off going to a theme park! - Kay 11th Dec'06

...Hi Guys - I would just like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to everyone who was involved in making my sons 13th birthday absolutely fabulous. The kids had a great time and have not stopped talking about the day since and the adults of the party, well what can I say, they most definitely reverted back to kids themselves that day, My brother thought he could have given Rambo a run for his money, not to mention my husband, he thought he was in a scene from a war movie, I was thinking more along the lines of dads army. Again a big thank you too, Jenny and Richard for providing us with such a fantastic location - excellent, fun loving staff with a great sense of humour and their professional approach to the game. A huge thank you to Thea for taking the booking and providing us with all the information we needed to have such an enjoyable day. A massive thank you to Jody who took our party and made the time we spent with him absolutely cracking, well organised, professional but lots and lots of fun, an asset to Wild Park Leisure. A great day was had by all. Thank you to all the staff at Wild Park Leisure. Amanda Shaw B.R. Coordinator - Battery Replacement Project - 24th October 2006

....Hello Jody, Thanks for the time that you spent with us on the Quads last week – both Jacob and I enjoyed the experience again. Hope that one of the spelling of your name is the correct one – which one ?

Thanks again – KEEP SMILIN - Regards, Mervyn & Jacob Brown - 9th September 2006.

....Today's paintballing was absolutely awesome, I can't stop talking about it. Everything was fantastically organised and the staff were really friendly even when I fell backwards back into the stream after grabbing the brief case there were marshals there to help and check that I was okay lmao. The whole group had an amazing time, I've recommended wild park leisure to all my friends and family. Thank you so much for such a brilliant day and u can guarantee that we'll be back again soon. Thanks again - Robyn Churm - 26th August 2006.

....Thank you Jody for a great experience Quad biking across different terrains - even Mum enjoyed it! We have already recommended you to our family and friends. A very professional but friendly set up; looking forward to doing it again - From the Purser Family - 16th August 2006.

....Hi, Just a quick email to thank you all for the excellent afternoon we all had yesterday. Also, a big thank you personally from me - the one with the twisted ankle! You and your staff did everything they could to make sure I was Ok and even driving me up the Suicide Alley on one of your vehicles - watching it was almost as good as being in it! We'll definitely be back before the end of the year - we fancy a full day - Quad Biking in the morning and then paint balling in the afternoon! Thanks again - Paul and the RBS Derby Team - 27th July'06.

...."Hi Jake and Crew, Carlsberg don't arrange quad treks but if they did they'd probably be as good as this, every single member of our party had the best day. We were all mega impressed with your warm, enthusiastic and informative attitude to having fun ! Great safety, great service, great food, great venue. I am already talking and being asked about sorting another day, the only problem seems to be keeping the numbers down! Thanks again, see you all soon" - Martin Jevons - 13th April'06.

...."I would just like to say that I had a great day with you guys this Saturday. As did my entire party. The day was superbly organised and very enjoyable. Thanks to all the paintball marshal’s and the girls back in the base area for helping to make our day a great one. I’m sure we’ll be back again, once the aches and pain has subsided though" - Many thanks Chris Maddocks - 6th Feb'06.

...."Thankyou and the 'team' once again for a tremendous outing - it was a success again and they say better than last year. The twelve that managed to get on the quads thoroughly enjoyed themselves in the dark and have managed to achieve better prices and cheaper bank charges because of it !! Night events were spectacular so to say, in what I can remember and the kind use of your outdoor facilities was appreciated. The paintballing with different games was excellent, even though being on the losing team was a great source of amusement to everyone. Can you pass on my thanks to all involved who made it a great event" - Peter Yeomans - Yeomans Camping - 1st November 2005.

...."I write rather belatedly to write how much the Bank's Agricultural Team enjoyed their day out with Wild Park Leisure in September. I am sorry you were not able to be there, however please pass on my thanks to your sons and staff for making it such an enjoyable occasion. They were a credit to you and Jenny" - Simeon Bennett, Senior Agricultural Manager, Natwest - 6th October 2005.

...."What a great day, It seems every time we come things get better. All the lads enjoyed the day as usual, and went away with some great stories of their escapades. Hope to see you all next year for the umpteenth time. Thanks a lot to everyone". - Alan & Stephen Moss 28th August 2005.

...."Hi, My name is Nigel Henshaw and I was Paint Balling at Wild Park on Sat. 30th July 05. with the same group that have been coming for "years". As always we had an absolutely fantastic time, especially the manic "fire-fight" in the final Tower game. During the afternoon my sister, Karen Morrow, and I were talking to Jenny about how long we had actually been coming Paint-balling, and worked out that it must be about 14-15 years, may-be a little longer !!

Jenny mentioned that you were trying to find people that had been coming from when you first started, and were still coming, well I think we qualify for that. The first time we came to Wild Park as a group we got changed in the old barn next to the Farmhouse, and while we were getting changed it rained so heavily the farmyard flooded, you asked if we still wanted to play in such heavy rain, we did, and had an amazing time, the brook was more like a river.

The names of the people from that first group who are still coming are :- Collin Morrow, Karen Morrow, Dave Borrington and myself Nigel Henshaw.

Like I said, as far as we can work it out it must be about 14-15 years ago but we can not be sure. We try to come as often as we can but that is never as often as we would like.

One final comment, and probably the most important, in all 14-15 years that we have been coming, or however long it actually is, we have never had anything but absolutely fantastic days at Wild-Park, from that very first, very wet time, up until Saturday. The only difference is that today I can hardly walk, I am definately not as fit as i used to be !!!!!!

...."Six in our group three lads, three adults, there for a birthday treat all had fantastic day. Although I was a bit apprehensive about trying paint balling out because being an ex bodyguard in the army, thought it may be a little childish for me, not at all, I was totally amazed!.

It was fun, energetic, exciting,and even brought back some good memories of team work. I would recommend any ex soldier who may have same thoughts >> as i did to give it a try, (it's a lot better than an exercise with a BFA, (blank firing attachment!).

Lastly I would like to say thanks once again on behalf of all our group, to all the staff including the refreshment team, on making it an extremely brilliant day, and would like to mention also the professional
aspect to safety, helpfulness, and enthusiasm that was carried out by each staff member throughout the entire day.

...."My son and a few team mates (12 in all) attended a paintballing session last Saturday 7th May'05. I am writing to tell you that the lads had a fantastic time and cannot wait to come back. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all your staff. Thankyou for a most enjoyable afternoon" - Regards Julie Collins.

...."Thankx for a great time on Sunday the 23rd of April 05 this is our 3rd time paint balling @ wild park and it just gets better, you and your staff help make the day go great, the marshals are polite and very helpfull,we will be back again soon"....thanx Pate and the crew from QDF Derby...(Brewster group).

...."Hi this is Andy I came paint balling on the 17th April and this is the greatest fun I've ever had and the guys who work with you are fantastic and any problems they can help you with. I'm hoping to come again soon. I'm planning on doing all three main activities. I must say that paint balling seems the best as 6 different games are played and the last two are on different terrain, this is a great tactical game and seems great fun with more people the better.

...."Thanks for a great day out paintballing and quad biking on Wednesday 13th April. Everyone had a great time" - Gavin Henshelwood

...."This is just to say thanks for another great day April 2^nd .Once again fun had by all the improvements you have made insured the day was even better than before. Cannot wait to see all the improvements you mentioned for the future. New guns, membership and goggles and guns for sale. Oh yes nearly forgot about the new toilets, 10 years of fun hope for 10 years more" - James Reynolds

.."I had a wonderful day paintballing on Sunday 13th March with the Clarke Toyota group" - Graham Austin

...."Hi, this is Amanda, one of the girls who came paintballing Sat 12th Feb. Just wanted to say a big THANKYOU to your whole team for an absolutely amazing day, the whole thing was such a brill experience, we all got such a buzz out of it, better than a sat night on the town! topped off nicely by the hunky field marshalls- not mentioning any names-Jacko (hmmm very nice!).

I must say i was a bit dubious about the whole thing, thought my friend was barmey for even thinking about paintballing, especially after listening to the rain pelting down at 3a.m that morning! but hey I'll try anything once. Had visions of running around for three hours non stop with a bunch of men who would only think of us women as getting in the way, but it wasn't like that at all, we all just got on with it as a team, everybody looks the same in those very fetching outfits anyway.

I can't praise you all enough, you seemed to think of everything, the food was lovely, tea was on tap, the induction talk (given by Jacko!) covered everything especially safety which you could understand how important it was once you saw one of the paintballs whizzing towards you. The games were all different, and in different parts of the woods giving it variety and a unpredictability, think the highlight of my day was the end game-suicide alley I think it was called, where there was only a few of us left on the field and I was helping this lad get the flag down to the opposite end of the field by distracting the yellows with gunfire, didn't half make the adrenaline pump, at one point Jacko was trying to give me some useful tips but I couldn't hear a thing with the rain pelting down, it all added to the excitement.

As you can see I'm still going on about it a week later, and it's imprinted in my memory as the best day out I've had in a long time. All I need to know now is if any of the marshalls offer a bruise rubbing better service??!!!"

...."Just a quick note to thank you all for an excellent day's paintballing (Dec 4th) - we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely consider you for our next team social. The marshalling was first rate and the whole day was well organised and professionally executed. Now all we need to do is wait for the bruises to go down!" - Thanks again - Max (and all the boys at Echos FC) - 4th Dec'04

...."Thanks Richard, Jenny and all the Wild Park team for yet another excellent days paintball. You even managed to stop the rain until we finished our last game, that's what I call attention to detail. Special thanks to the marshals who oversaw fair play throughout the day and compliments to the chef for a tasty lunch. We've been every year for over ten years now and each time the experience just gets better."

...."I just want to say a huge Thank You to everyone who was involved with the paintballing on Sunday 17th October. 18 of us came altogether under the name of Butler (or Sunwin) and we all had a fantastic time. We had so much fun and we'd also like to say a huge Thanks to all the Marshals, they were brill! I would gladly recommend you to all of my friends and family. Expect to see us again soon!" - Thanks again!!! - Kim Treece - 21st Oct'04

...."Hi its Emma Churm, just to let you know everyone had a great time paintballing on the 10th it was awesome! You guys were great and we didn't get too many bruises....well some of us. I'd love to do it again! Might even see you in half term ! - Just want to say thanks from every one in the group and hope to see you soon !!" - Cheers for a great day - Emma 13th Oct'04

...."I just wanted to let you know that our group (Marsh, Chillisauce) had a fantastic time on the 18th. Despite the weather the organisation was excellent and the enthusiasm of the staff was fantastic and added to our day. Unfortunately out of all 60 people there I was the first one shot in four out of 5 paintball games - what's that all about?? Too honest? too big? too stupid? - well at least it's given me a reason to come again, although I'm having to convince the lads I'm not a conscientious objector. A special highlight was the instructor (sorry - should know his name!) giving us instructions for the Karting with drips streaming off his nose whilst we stood dry in the shed! Seriously - an excellent day and highly recommended." - Chris Marsh 18th September'04

...."I just wanted to thank all your team for making this weekends Karting a day to remember for 10 hung-over lads. We all really enjoyed ourselves, and it certainly cleared a few bad heads. Thanks again, I'd highly recommend your place to anyone." - Bob Lyons 26th July'04

...."I would like to say I really enjoyed myself when I came with Westpark on the 25th July. Thankyou for the great time." - Rachel 25th July'04

...."Thankyou very much for a cracking day out, we all thoroughly enjoyed it. We'll be back around January to February time. Thanks." - Dan Gosling 25th July'04

...."Just a quick email to thank you and your team for a fantastic afternoons paintball on the 26th of June. Sam (the stag) and myself would like to say well done for putting on a great day for us. From arriving to a hearty lunch, to getting pelted at the end (stag and best mans punishment), a good time was had by all. Particular thanks go out to your marshals who where funny, helpful and good sports throughout."

...."Just a note to say a big thanks for making my 11 year old's (Matthew Davies, 11th June) birthday one he and his friends will remember for a very long time. You were excellent, treated them how they need to be making sure they understood and were safe. They haven't shut up about it and I will happily recommend you to our friends. It was so good it looks like the adults will be coming back for some fun of their own!" - George Davies (Father to Matthew) - 15th June'04

...."You guys came up trumps this weekend - please see following feedback ... Simon Spyer group : Our day at the activity centre was great - the place is run extremely professionally and the team there ensured that we had a lot of fun in a very safe and controlled environment. The facilities were good and the farmland impressive. The staff were very motivated and keen to make sure that we got the most out of the day. Several of my friends had been paintballing elsewhere but felt that Wild Park Leisure was better than anywhere they had been before.

Jonathan Bunkall group: The weekend was a great success. The personnel at Wild Park Leisure were excellent and I could not fault their organisation, especially as we arrived very late!" - Kind Regards, Ali Kidd, Chillisauce, London - 18th May'04

..."Everyone in the Parkinson party agreed that we should send you this email to let you know that we had the perfect Paintball experience today. We found every aspect of the day from the induction to the departure to be spot on. The kit was A1, clean, comfy (no fogging !!!) and in tip top condition. The food was much appreciated. All staff were A1 customer friendly, for example they loaded fresh paint for us without even the need to ask, cleaned our goggles with pride, marshalled with enthusiasm fairness and a commitment to the game play that just made every game brilliant and made us all feel not only welcome but a bit special (how often can that be said about customer service in the UK today)"....
