The City of Englewood manages a system of 17 public parks of various sizes and characters. The system, which in general is well used, provides numerous public amenities, including active and passive recreation opportunities and multicultural experiences.
To ensure the current high quality of the park system, to plan for a growing population and a sustainable future, it is important to make informed decisions about park maintenance and management. Investments in the current system must be prioritized and appropriate opportunities for expansion of City Park lands must be anticipated.
This project provides a baseline inventory and develops an assessment of challenges and opportunities for each property. A strong focus is on community engagement:
The city of Englewood has prepared a community survey to obtain input from residents, thoughts and opinions on parks and recreation facilities in Englewood.

The goal of the project will be the development of an overall vision for the park system, which meets the needs of a diverse community and enhances habitat quality.
