Park Spotlight: Hands Pike Park
The City's southernmost park in Covington, Hands Pike Park, now has a new and improved walking trail. Due to its location, it was not uncommon for the previous trail to be washed away or damaged with heavy rain. The trail was re-graded and elevated to make walking or running easier. Black top replaced the dirt and mulch to accommodate park access for everyone, including strollers and wheelchairs. The new walking trail starts next to the Covington #5 Fire Department and extends behind the playground, through the entire park.
