What is MWR?
Army MWR exists because the U.S. Army is committed to the well-being of the community of people who serve and stand ready to defend the nation.
Army MWR is a comprehensive network of support and leisure services designed to enhance the lives of soldiers (active, Reserve, and Guard), their families, civilian employees, military retirees and other eligible participants. Over 37,000 MWR employees worldwide strive to deliver the highest quality programs and services at each installation — from family, child and youth programs to recreation, sports, entertainment, travel and leisure activities.
Their mission is to serve the needs, interests and responsibilities of each individual in the Army community for as long as they are associated with the Army, no matter where they are.
MWR contributes to the Army’s strength and readiness by offering services that reduce stress, build skills and self-confidence and foster strong esprit de corps. MWR services also help the Army attract and retain talented people. MWR is proof of the Army’s commitment to caring for the people who serve and stand ready to defend the nation.

I suggest a fenced dog park with water available. This park should be 50 yds by 50 yds and could be located at the corner of Hermes and Jupiter. This location is close to the housing areas and across the street from the RV park in the old housing area. This would provide a place where dogs could run off leash. Part of this could be divided off for smaller dogs. A water faucet, trash can and clean-up bag dispenser would be required. I feel this type of park would be used by those living in housing, those in the RV park and by many of us living off post. This should be a low maintenance area, policed by those using it and making use of otherwise vacant land. A bench or two for the pet owners would add to the parks usefulness.

Has Redstone MWR ever considered having a obstacle course race similar to Tough Mudder (http://toughmudder.com/), Warrior Dash (http://www.warriordash.com/), or Spartan Race (http://www.spartanrace.com/)? These type of races are becoming increasingly popular across the U.S., especially within the active, former, and retired military. With all three present here plus the avid runners and adventurers in this community, I guarantee the turnout would easily trump any of your hosted 5K, 10K, and other running/cycle events. The amount of money raised for MWR and charity would be incredible too.
