    Construction is fully underway at Bates Logan Park!

    We have been getting some questions about tree removal in the park. Two trees are being relocated to different parks in the city, and two trees are being removed.

    With this project, also comes the planting of 20 new trees including Fall Fiesta Sugar Maples, Sunburst Honey Locust, Prairie fire Crabapples, Exclamation London Plane Trees and Ivory Silk Japanese Tree Lilac.

    Englewood is committed to protecting our urban canopy while improving our parks for all!
