Englewood Colorado Tourism

Englewood is conveniently located just south of Denver and is accessible by several major thoroughfares. Englewood is a full-service city with an established business community and mature neighborhoods.

The city is renowned for its beautiful parks, municipal golf course, recreation center complete with Olympic size pool, indoor track and award-winning recreation programs and its annual Englewood Holiday Parade.

You’ll find attractive greenways and bicycle paths, and two civic plazas that hold festivals, outdoor concerts and other events. One of those plazas is located at an innovative, mixed-use development called City Center Englewood.

The development incorporates light rail transportation, retail, apartment living, a plaza featuring a fountain and amphitheatre.

Englewood has the distinction of playing host to the first major gold find in Colorado in 1858. The Little Dry Creek area of the Platte River became a gold-mining haven.

The city’s first resident, Thomas Skerritt, is credited with establishing the first path south of Denver by dragging a log behind his wagon back and forth from Englewood to Denver. The road eventually became Broadway, the main north-south thoroughfare linking the two cities.
