Confirmed from Covington Parks & Recreation Department's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

“I love the Covington's parks,they're always clean and a good conditions.”

Beautiful park. Well kept jogging/walking trails all around the park. Park has a picnic areas, soccer fields, tennis courts playground and clean bathrooms. Across the street is the Covington Aquatic Center. Usually when my son is at swim practice or swim meets I jog at the park.
