Parks & Recreation Bond Oversight Committee April 23, 2026

The City of Englewood Colorado's Parks & Recreation Bond Oversight Committee met on April 23, 2026, to review the progress of various bond-funded park projects and discuss procurement activities. Key updates included near-final documents for the Northwest Green Belt project, which will feature a custom restroom and basketball court, and the completion of Cushing Park with only minor punch list items remaining. The Emerson Park project is ahead of schedule with landscaping and repairs underway, while construction at Routollo Park has started with ongoing design adjustments related to floodway concerns. The committee also discussed the Pirates Cove RFP, with proposals due soon and initial bids coming in under budget, aiming for contract awards to be presented to City Council by June 15. Financially, the bond spending is on track with about 6.77% spent and 13.2% encumbered plus spent, and interest income reported at $661,434. The committee anticipates further updates at the next meeting in May, including potential contract decisions and continued coordination on stormwater issues for Miller Field.
