We have four pools that include a 25-meter lap pool, a 50-yard lap pool, a wading pool, and a figure-8 pool. The figure-8 has a diving board and 2 slides. Our Fort Myer Swim Team utilizes the 25-meter pool for their practice and training.
Watch a movie under the stars at our “dive-in movies.” This is one of our most popular events!
From 12–5 PM, the Kid’s Zone on Wainwright Field is bouncing with fun—literally! Think 9 bounce houses, face painting, and giant Jenga and Checkers games. Then at 5 PM, Whipple Field turns it up with axe throwing, a dunk tank, smoky BBQ, our brand new MWR Food & Beverage Trailer, and a cool-down misting tent w/giant fans! DJ will be on-hand to keep the partying going until the DC fireworks shine over the Washington Monument (approx. 9pm).
