UPDATE: The Covington City Commission voted to approve the funding for the equipment replacement on April 8, 2025.–LINK nky editorial, April 8, 2025
The Covington City Commission heard a proposal from the city’s neighborhood services department to replace the outdated equipment at the 35th and Carlisle Park in the city’s Latonia neighborhood on Tuesday.
The park is small and features a basketball court and a small playground, the equipment of which is over 30 years old.
“I believe that playground equipment has been around since I was a child,” Commissioner James Toebbe quipped at the meeting.
The contract proposal between the city and company County Line Companies/Play Pros calls for a maximum cost of about $120,000. The contract states the work would be completed by June 6.
The agreement approval was placed on the consent agenda for next week’s legislative meeting, meaning it will likely pass.
