Rotolo Park Renovations
Project Description
The City of Englewood is working with Superbloom to renew Rotolo Park. A new restroom facility will enhance visitor comfort and convenience. The landscaping has been thoughtfully redesigned, showcasing vibrant native plants that beautify the surroundings and promote education on native landscaping. The new pathways provide safe and accessible routes for families and individuals to explore the area, while the nature play area offers children a unique space to connect with the outdoors through imaginative play.
Estimated Cost of Improvements $755,000
Concept Plans
The team used feedback from the August Rotolo Park Renovations Survey to create a design concept. This concept emphasizes improved ADA accessibility, enhanced trails, sustainability, and water efficiency. While these designs are not yet final, they offer a glimpse into the exciting updates planned for Rotolo Park in the 2025! View the full Rotolo Park Design Concept packet here.
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.

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.

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.
