Jenkins Creek Trail - Taking the First Steps Trails have been high on the community's wish list for years. And, for years, there has been a vision for a multi-use trail to follow Jenkins Creek through the city, connecting neighborhoods, schools, healthcare facilities, parks, commercial areas, and the county’s regional trail system.

The City’s 2022-2042 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan highlights this trail as a priority for planning and development. The next step in making this vision a reality is

Coaching can be a valuable volunteer experience for parents, grandparents, siblings, or other caring adults. The commitment is low and the experience is extremely rewarding!

We are looking for volunteer coaches for our youth athletics programs. Here is what is takes to be a coach: - 1-4 hours per week depending on division (practice, game, & prep) - We supply all equipment, coaching and league information - Attend the mandatory informational coaches meeting - Coaches choose their own practice day - The seasons are around two months long - We focus on being non-competitive, fun and instructional!

- Head coaches receive a 50% discount on their child's registration.

Please visit www.covingtonwa.gov/athletics to get your coach’s application today!

A Bark Park? Take the Survey!

Off-leash dog parks are becoming increasingly popular. Offleash dog parks provides a variety of benefits, including:

• Providing a space for dogs to run free and safely socialize • Offer opportunities for community members to get to know one another while their dogs play • Reducing the pet waste found on local athletic fields

PARKS@COVINGTONWA.GOV

|

There are all sorts of off-leash dog parks. Some are a part or section of a larger park. Some are stand-alone parks unto themselves. Some are small, while others are large. The City of Covington is exploring options for providing an off-leash dog area and looking for input. Please take our survey and let us know what you think at www.covingtonwa.gov/parks/ dogparkfeasibility.php or by scanning 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.
