Clarkson Park Renovations
Project Description
Conceptual RenderingThe City of Englewood is collaborating with Goodbee & Associates to enhance Clarkson Park. Recent assessments revealed that the entire park is located within the 100-year floodplain. Because of the flooding risk, some original concepts, such as large nature play structures or permanent community gardens, may not be possible. However, improvements like upgraded seating and play options are moving forward, and the project team is reevaluating which other enhancements can be implemented safely.

Background Information
In March 2017, Englewood City Council adopted the Parks and Recreation Master Plan to serve as a road map for future park development/redevelopment and provide a balance of facilities, amenities and recreation programs for the next 10 years.
In July 2023, the Department of Parks, Recreation, Library and Golf updated the 2017 Master Plan Recommendations Sections (Chapter 3) to outline key improvements to Englewood's parks, opens spaces and facilities to meet the current needs and issues of the community.

Project funding
Over the next three years and beyond, $41.5 million will be invested in parks and recreation through the bond projects approved by Englewood voters. General Obligation Bonds require 85% of the work to be completed within three years, so the majority of projects are expected to be finished by 2028.
Thanks to your support, the city is investing in vibrant parks and recreation for everyone, now and into the future, through the Renew & Recreate campaign. Funded by the Parks and Recreation Bond, this initiative includes major upgrades to parks, playgrounds, recreation facilities and trails.
