At Valley Lake you have 2 choices of battlefields. The main battlefield downside from the pavilion 4 is long and has some shade, with about 5 acres of space for combat. It has a road, The closest option for battle, it has a tendancy to hold some water after a rain storm. Which leaves field option #2, located between Pavilions 2 and 3 and overlooking the main lake is a secondary battlefield about 3 acre is size. With better drainage this field is a smaller alternate to the main battlefield, and with 2 pavilions it is a better place to house gear and participants in bad weather conditions.
