Located near Dickhaeuter Lake on the Grafenwoehr Training Area just a few minutes from Gate 9 (near the Tower Barracks Shoppette), the 16,000 square-foot ODR complex boasts a bright and welcoming reception area, where customers can rent gear and inquire about various excursions.

The adjoining snack bar and patio invites customers to stick around and enjoy the scenic view. A multipurpose room located in the same building can be rented for receptions, classes and meetings.

Outdoors, children can play on the sensory playground while ballers take to the blacktop. In the wintertime, the basketball court transforms into a hockey and ice-skating rink, allowing year-round activities for the community.

A high-quality indoor climbing hall beckons climbers to navigate multiple routes, each wall containing various levels of difficulty. Outside, adrenaline junkies

can climb, negotiate and traverse more than 1,000 feet of obscure obstacles dangling 40 to 80 feet above the ground at the high ropes

course.
