Covington Recreation Department
Play is important in the life of every person. No matter how young or old, disabilities or not, we all need recreation as part of our daily schedule. This is the inspiration for our slogan at the Covington Recreation Department (C.R.D.) "fun for everyone." We are committed to making our program fit every person's interest in our community, those who love sports as well as those who don't.
We've added equipment to our playgrounds, updated our pool, accessorized our new baseball complex, and much more. The City of Covington and the Covington Recreation Department value what you think about your city, and we want to continue making Covington a city you can be proud of.
