About Devou Park

Devou Park is a large hillside park in Covington, Kentucky, covering more than 700 acres and serving as the city's biggest park. Visitors can golf on an 18-hole course, ride or hike over eight miles of mountain bike trails, use playgrounds and picnic shelters, and fish at a lake. The Overlook area offers wide views of the Cincinnati skyline and the Ohio River valley. The park also contains the Behringer-Crawford Museum, the NKY Children's Home, and Drees Pavilion. Its band shell, built as a Depression-era public works project, still hosts concerts, including a summer series by the Kentucky Symphony Orchestra.
