Covington Park’s Boundless Playground invites all kids to climb, slide, swing and explore together. With ramps, sensory panels, and smooth, rubberized surfaces, it’s easy for everyone to join the fun. Nearby benches give grown-ups a comfy spot to relax while the kids play.

The park’s scenic nine-acre DeSandis Pond is a lively place for families to enjoy time on the water. In summer, a designated swimming area offers a refreshing way for kids to cool off, while kayaking, canoeing and fishing add to the fun. Stocked with bluegill, trout, and other freshwater fish, it’s a favorite spot whether you’re paddling, casting a line or splashing from shore.

Covington Park features a well-maintained hiking and biking trail that winds through its beautiful wooded landscape. Families can enjoy a relaxing stroll or a bike ride along the scenic loop around DeSandis Pond. The gentle terrain makes the trails accessible for kids of all ages and skill levels, whether they’re riding training wheels or just beginning to hike.

Covington Park offers plenty of open space and sports facilities to keep kids active. Two baseball diamonds, a multi-purpose soccer field, a full basketball court, and a grass volleyball court provide options for games, practice and friendly competition.

Pack a picnic lunch or snack and take a break at Covington Park’s picnic tables scattered throughout the park. For bigger groups, the spacious pavilion can host up to 150 guests, making it great for parties or family gatherings. With easy access to playgrounds, restrooms and parking, it’s a convenient spot to relax during your day outdoors.

After a fun-filled morning at Covington Park, treat the kids to lunch at Caboose Food & Ice Cream in Madison Township, just 3 miles away, where you can enjoy outdoor seating beside a vintage 1930s Pennsylvania Railroad caboose.

This family-friendly spot offers quick bites like Texas Wieners, burgers, fries and more. Don’t forget to save room for dessert—Caboose is known for its homemade waffle cones, sundaes and giant ice cream sandwiches made with fresh-baked cookies.
