COVINGTON, KY – The City of Covington invites residents, park users, and community members to help shape the future of one of its most beloved public spaces through a newly launched Virtual Open House for the Goebel Park Master Plan.
Goebel Park, a historic and vibrant community gathering space located in the heart of Mainstrasse Village, is entering an exciting new chapter. The Master Plan effort will guide future improvements, investments, and enhancements to ensure the park continues to serve the needs of Covington residents for generations to come. The City is working with KZF Design to facilitate the planning process and guide community engagement.
