    Effective October 7, 2024, the field at Rotolo Park will be closed through spring as part of the ongoing South Englewood Flood Reduction Project.

    The closure is necessary to complete several key improvements aimed at reducing the risk of flooding in the surrounding area, including:

    • Grading the fields for improved drainage.
    • Installing a trickle channel to manage water flow.
    • Constructing head and wing walls as part of an outlet structure to efficiently direct water flow.
    • Connecting Rotolo Park to the new flood reduction network currently under construction.

    While the fields will remain closed during this work, the playground will remain open for public use.

    We appreciate your patience as we work to make our stormwater infrastructure safer and more resilient. Stay tuned for project updates and completion timelines. Learn more about the South Flood Reduction Project here.
