Covington Community Park Sports Field and Trails
- Status
- Funded in 2011
Covington will use this grant to improve Covington Community Park by expanding the trail system, adding a multi-purpose sports field, and providing a place for community events. The city does not have a municipal sports field so kids must travel to other city and county fields to play soccer. Community events were one of the top ranked recreation needs, yet Covington does not have a suitable location to hold events. Expanding Covington Community Park will address a long-term dream of citizens who have been working on this project since 2003, when the property was donated to the city. The City will contribute $1 million from state funding, cash, and a local grant.
