WIESBADEN, Germany – The U. S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Commander, Col. Mario Washington, conducted a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the outdoor recreation facility on Clay North that had been delayed due to COVID adaptations this last year.

“We wanted to thank the staff here at outdoor recreation for the great things they are doing for the community and even though the facility has been open since April, this is a good time to do this,” Washington said.

Garrison Wiesbaden’s Morale Family and Welfare’s outdoor recreation department, now located in its state-of-the-art facilities in Building 3400 on Clay North, houses a one-stop-shop of amenities – including a customer service hub, equipment rentals, two classrooms, as well as bicycle and ski shops.
