MWR Things To Do

The Navy Morale, Welfare and Recreation Division administers a varied program of recreation, social and community support activities on U.S. Navy facilities worldwide. Our programs provide active-duty, reserve and retired Navy personnel and their families with sports and physical fitness activities, child development and youth programs, and a variety of food and beverage services. Our mission is to provide quality support and recreational services that contribute to the retention, readiness, mental, physical, and emotional well-being of our Sailors.

AUTO SKILLS & HOBBY SHOPS

The Navy MWR Auto Skills Program provides indoor and outdoor stall space and appropriate tools for authorized patrons to work on personal vehicles. These centers are not intended to be full-service stations, but rather facilities where customer self-help is fostered and automotive skills are learned. Trained MWR professionals provide guidance, when necessary. Many auto skills centers sell automotive-related products, operate car washes and manage the installation's vehicle storage program.

Unlike traditional bowling, Xtreme bowling features black lights, glow-in-the-dark balls, fluorescent pins and lanes combined with pulsating music, a laser light show and atmospheric fog. As lights pulsate to the beat of your favorite music, you'll experience an amazing glow that you won't soon forget as you roll your next strike down the lane. For a fantastic, futuristic, glow in the dark good time, visit one of your regional MWR bowling centers and let the good times bowl.

Additionally, all MWR regional bowling centers offer bowling for your recreational pleasure. Regional bowling centers support league actions for all ages and are open daily.
