Parks & Nature

Just up the street you'll find Goebel Park. This park was revitalized in 2015 thanks to two 11 year old boys from the neighborhood. Located near the Pied Piper Bell Tower, Goebel Park is also home to the Goebel Goats. Be sure to check them out in advance (We recommend Googling "Running of the Goats, Covington for a good chuckle...)
