Kenton County Parks & Recreation is about to embark on its eleventh season of ‘outstanding’ science programming in Kenton County’s Parks.

It’s not just for schools and school-age children, this program has something for everyone!

Lunch is served at 11:30 am.
(Almost) Every Other Thursday Science programs are free to attend and enjoy. Instead of money, Kenton County Parks & Recreation collects non-perishable food or personal care items for Be Concerned. Your donation will go a long way in the community. Your kind donations of non-perishable food and personal care items have helped way more than you know. Let’s keep giving.
Pioneer Park is located at 3951 Madison Pike, Covington. From I-275, take Exit 80 (Covington/Independence). Go south (away from Covington) and about 1 mile. The park will be on the right before you get to the entrance. Turn right as you enter the park and meet at Shelterhouse 1.
