The Englewood Nature Trail (ENT) will be a 2-mile linear park that transforms a vacated rail corridor into a naturalized space for residents to enjoy and use to connect deeper with nature. The ENT will serve as a connector between Englewood's growing network of farms and foster local food access, community health and wellness, and business and job development.
The big Quality of Life Plan (QLP) vision to transform vacant lots into an urban agriculture zone and green space has matured into the Englewood Agro-Eco District, the first of its kind in the nation. This means planning on improvements to the environment and the local economy by attracting industry and entrepreneurs back to this unique corridor that sits between two of the nation's largest railroads.
