Spotlight - Barb Cook Neighborhood Park
This October 22, the City will be hosting its “Perk up the Park” event at Barb Cook Neighborhood Park. Barb Cook was a lifelong resident of Covington who worked tirelessly to ensure the city was a safe and welcoming place. In 2010, the City of Covington renamed Ashland Avenue Park to Barb Cook Neighborhood Park in recognition of her commitment to the citizens of Covington.
Most notably, Cook started the Neighborhood Watch in partnership with the Covington Police Department and earned numerous awards including the Governor’s Award for Community Volunteerism and the NKAPC Chief Robert A. Shields 2008 Memorial Award for outstanding Acts by a Citizen.
