Englewood, also known as Little Dry Creek, is a flood risk reduction structure located in Arapahoe County, Colorado. Owned and regulated by the local government, this earth dam was completed in 1936 and stands at a height of 55 feet, with a hydraulic height of 55 feet and a structural height of 64 feet. The dam spans a length of 2300 feet and has a storage capacity of 3500 acre-feet, serving the primary purpose of mitigating flood risks along Willow Creek.

With a high hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment as of November 2018, Englewood is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates. The dam has undergone modifications in 1975 for structural enhancements, and regular inspections are conducted every three years to ensure its integrity. Despite its moderate risk assessment level, the structure has not experienced any major incidents and is deemed to meet guidelines for emergency action preparedness, although the last revision of the emergency action plan was in August 2020.

As a vital component of flood management in the region, Englewood plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding community from potential inundation. With its strategic location and effective design, this dam serves as a key asset in enhancing water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the area.
