## About

Perched high on the rolling hills of Covington, Kentucky, just across the river from downtown Cincinnati, Devou Park is a 700-acre regional gem boasting the most famous panoramic skyline view in the tri-state area. Following winter snowstorms, Devou Park transforms into the region's top destination for old-fashioned family sledding. The park features rolling hill gradients near the Memorial Overlook and Drees Pavilion, with gentle slopes perfect for toddlers on saucers alongside longer, exhilarating runs for older kids and teens with toboggans. When sledding winds down, families can stroll along the paved perimeter pathways to the overlook terrace to gaze out at the downtown skyscrapers, river bridges, and riverboats dusted in white snow. The Behringer-Crawford Museum, located within the park, offers a cozy indoor cultural stop on weekend afternoons.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Paved parking lots, scenic overlook terrace, and primary park roads are paved and maintained; sledding hills consist of grass covered in snow where sleds replace strollers.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Public restrooms open at park facilities; indoor warming and restrooms available inside Behringer-Crawford Museum during open hours; car warming spots directly adjacent to overlook.
• Age Suitability: All ages; parents can easily monitor young toddlers on shallow hill crests while bigger kids tackle faster descents.
• Sensory Tips: Thrilling outdoor winter play environment with sparkling snow reflections, crisp hill breezes, and stunning expansive visual vistas.
