Covington Parks and Recreation is responsible for the management and programming of all recreational green space within the City, which includes 30 facilities and approximately 990 acres of parkland and open space. Covington Parks and Recreation also facilitates programs and events to engage the community with its green space assets in order to promote a sense of community, encourage interaction with the outdoors, and promote a healthy and active way of life. Covington’s many recreational amenities encourage outdoor activity and healthy living. Residents and visitors have plenty of options to choose from, ranging from the 700+ acre Devou Park, which boasts a golf course, bandshell, and trails, to a wonderful host of small neighborhood parks scattered throughout the city, with picnic shelters, basketball courts, and ball fields.
