Upcoming events include ALT’R Ego on April 18 from 5–8 PM, as well as performances like Battle of the Bands and the Covington Concert Band Spring Concert. Follow social media channels for the latest updates and event announcements. These events have been highly successful, with many more planned for 2026.
Pickleball Courts More pickleball courts are coming soon. Due to growing interest in the sport, Pelican Park will expand with four new pickleball courts at The Groves. This popular area has quickly become a destination for players of all skill levels. Pickleball offers a great cardio workout and helps improve balance, agility, and coordination, making it an excellent way to stay active while connecting with others. With the expansion, The Groves will offer even more room for casual play, community gatherings, and exciting events, whether you're here for a game, a concert, or a special celebration. Pelican Park currently offers eight pickleball courts, open daily from 7 am to 9 pm with evening lighting available. Courts are first-come, first-served, though availability may vary due to park programs, rentals, or tournaments. Thank you for your patience as improvements continue. Even more exciting updates are on the way as The Groves continues to grow...
Adult Exercise Equipment Get active in the fresh air at The Groves! Our expanded adult outdoor fitness area offers 10 specialized exercise stations designed to help improve strength, endurance, and overall wellness using your own body weight for resistance. Set in a shaded area overlooking a scenic pond with soothing fountains, it’s the perfect spot to warm up before a pickleball game, cool down after a bike ride, or simply enjoy a peaceful, full-body workout surrounded by nature. Come out, breathe in the fresh air, and make fitness a part of your day!
