Wilson Gate to be open for limited hours on weekday CST Family Day and graduation dates
14 Jul 2025 20:04
To help facilitate timely access for Cadet Summer Training (CST) visitors during major weekday events, Wilson Gate will temporarily be open for both inbound and outbound traffic from 6-10 a.m. on Family Day and graduation dates that occur during the workweek. This adjustment is in addition to normal operations at Chaffee (main) and Brandenburg gates and is specifically intended to ease congestion for the thousands of CST guests – many of whom may be unfamiliar with the procedures and timelines for entering a military installation and locating parking in the cantonment area. It is important to note that this is not a routine change. The temporary opening of Wilson Gate represents a surge effort that relies on additional support and coordination across multiple Fort Knox units and organizations. It is a targeted response to meet the unique access demands posed by high-traffic CST events, and is not a resource level that can be maintained on a regular basis. Dates Wilson Gate will have limited hours in support of CST Family Day and graduation events: • July 15, 16, 21, 25, 30, 31 • Aug. 4, 5, 6, 14, 15, 19, 20

Dog park on Fort Knox to be closed indefinitely
25 Jun 2025 15:31
The dog park, located along 9th Cavalry Regiment Avenue, is scheduled to be closed effective 4 p.m. Friday, June 27 until further notice. We recognize that the dog park has served as a valued recreational space for some members of our community. However, we must also acknowledge that maintaining a dog park is not a requirement for Army installations, and Fort Knox does not receive dedicated funding for its upkeep. With growing constraints on manpower and resources, we are no longer able to sustain the level of maintenance required to ensure the park remains a safe, clean and healthy environment for pets. We appreciate the community’s understanding and support as we continue to evaluate how to best balance resources with the needs of the installation.
