SHARE YOUR VISION FOR A METROPOLITAN PARK DISTRICT
Covington’s parks, trails, and recreation programs bring joy to families, strengthen neighborhoods, and enhance our quality of life. However, there is currently no dedicated and sustainable funding to expand or improve the city’s parks and trails—despite the growing need for more accessible, high-quality parks and trails to support our community’s health, recreation, and quality of life. That means no new play areas, trails, or upgraded sports fields. But we have a chance to change that. The City of Covington is exploring the formation of a Metropolitan Park District (MPD) – a long-term, locally controlled solution that keeps funding in our community and supports the parks and programs we all value. An MPD must be approved by voters. If approved, an MPD for Covington could help fund: • A new aquatic and recreation center • New sports fields at Covington Community Park • Pickleball courts, trails, picnic shelters, and more at Founders Park • Expanded trails and restored natural areas at Jenkins Creek Park • Expansion of the Jenkins Creek Trail to connect different neighborhoods throughout the city and to connect to the county’s regional trail system
• A new off-leash dog park • Renovated neighborhood parks like Crystal View and Friendship Park • Improvements to school district fields and outdoor spaces • Increased park maintenance to improve the care of the parks and trails • Expanded programming for aquatics activities, athletic leagues, recreation classes, and community events
CITY NEWS
Your Voice Matters
But first, we want to hear from you. A proposed MPD is being considered as a ballot measure in 2026. This year, we are asking the Covington community to share their preferences with us so the MPD can reflect what the community wants. To learn more about the MPD, share your thoughts in a quick survey or sign up for updates at www.covingtonwa.gov/ parks/mpd or scan the QR code.

Beginning levels focus on water adjustment and introduce basic swimming and water safety skills. More advanced levels concentrate on stroke development, stroke refinement and additional water safety skills.
WHAT CLASS IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Placing of your child into the correct level is critical for their success. Each swimming level focuses on different skills, depending on age and ability. If your child is a beginner, they will start in the first level of either Parent & Child Aquatics, Preschool Aquatics, or Learn to Swim, depending on their age. If your child has had lessons before or has some swimming experience, their swimming ability needs to be assessed to determine the appropriate level in our swim lesson program. We provide Placement Tests free of charge during our Public Swims. Ages 6 months-4 years 4-5 years 6-14 years 15+ years
