Covington residents can now contribute their recommendations to the new Goebel Park Master Plan. Goebel Park, located in Covington’s Mainstrasse neighborhood, is one of the city’s key landmarks, but its proximity to the impending work on the Brent Spence Bridge means the future of the park is in flux.
“The Master Plan will explore opportunities to enhance park facilities, improve connections, re-imagine underused spaces, plan for the future of the Bell Tower, and strengthen the park’s role as a welcoming gateway to Covington,” according to the City of Covington’s website.
The city has contracted with KZF Design, a Cincinnati-based architecture firm, to head up the planning process. The contract with KZF was OKed by the Board of Commissioners late last year.
The affected areas of the master planning process include Goebel Park itself, as well as the adjacent Kenny Shields Park.
Residents can fill out KZF’s community survey here and leave anonymous suggestions using the “Ideas Wall” feature. Finally, residents can reach out directly to the Parks & Recreation Department. Learn more at engage.kzf.com/cov-goebel.
