Englewood Park
Park at Minto-Brown Lot #4, 2806 Homestead Rd S, Salem, OR 97302 77 acres/3 miles of trails/Water access The site was badly eroded cropland until the Environmental Services staff enrolled it in the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program. Through this federal and state program, hundreds of volunteers planted 45,000 native trees and shrubs along the river on April 15, 2000. These native plants will help control erosion, reduce flood damage to the property, and provide critical wildlife habitat along the Willamette River. A footpath, made from recycled asphalt grindings, loops through the park and provides visitors year around access. An arbor and interpretive signs have been completed on an existing all-weather pad also constructed of recycled asphalt grindings and rock.
