Paintball Libya
Paintball Libya is a commercial paintball centre in Janzour, in the Tripoli area of Libya. Its published photographs document an inflatable-bunker playing field by March 2012, followed by a separate area containing masonry obstacles.[1][2]
History
Early records
On 14 March 2012, Paintball Libya published an elevated photograph of a netted playing field containing green and yellow inflatable bunkers. The field had a green playing surface with white markings, with residential buildings visible beyond its perimeter.[1]
A photograph published on 10 May 2012 showed a layout of red inflatable bunkers, including a large central inflatable arch.[3] A night photograph published on 30 November 2012 showed floodlighting illuminating the inflatable-bunker field and an adjacent area containing masonry walls and other obstacles.[2]
On 6 December 2012, Libya Monitor reported that Paintball Libya had recently opened on a 10,000-square-metre site in Janzour, on the outskirts of Tripoli.[4]
Tournament advertisement
On 16 July 2013, Paintball Libya published a poster advertising a paintball tournament scheduled for 24 July 2013. The poster carried Paintball Libya and WE Entertainment branding and identified Janzour as the location.[5]
Playing fields
Paintball Libya's photographic record includes both airball layouts using inflatable bunkers and a separate playing area containing masonry obstacles.[1][2]
A photograph published on 15 February 2016 showed blue inflatable bunkers arranged on a green playing surface enclosed by netting. The foreground contained masonry structures, vegetation and a vehicle.[6] The same view was published again as a cover photograph on 25 January 2023.[7]
These publication dates document the appearance of the fields in the operator's photographic record; they do not establish the dates on which the photographs were taken or the layouts installed.
