Englewood MetroPark is one of five natural areas created by the construction of earthen flood control dams. Stillwater River, lakes, woods, and wetlands serve as focal points of this 1,900-acre MetroPark.

Englewood MetroPark is a large and heavily utilized MetroPark. The natural areas of the park contain floodplain forests, large areas of former farmland in natural succession, second-growth upland hardwood forest, significant remnants of mature and old-growth forest, a large shallow lake/wetland, several managed grasslands, and the scenic Stillwater River. The park also contains a series of rehabilitated gravel quarries along Old Springfield Road (North Park).
