A note from the director.
Dear community members,
At Boulder Parks and Recreation, our mission is to promote the health and well-being of our entire community. In 2021, Boulder experienced incredible challenges, and we worked even harder to provide opportunities for our community members to care for their minds, bodies, and spirits. I am proud to share with you our 2021 Progress Report. I hope you’ll celebrate with us the ways that our team facilitated health, well- being and fun last year. We celebrated the opening of the enhanced Scott Carpenter Pool, the Main Building at the Boulder Reservoir, and a new playground at Chautauqua Park. We dedicated resources to caring for our natural resources –our public lands are critical to supporting community health and addressing climate change. Thanks to City Council’s approval of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funds, we were able to restore recreation center hours and services for populations that need us most. As we look to the future, we are excited about work planned for 2022 to ensure that Boulder’s world-class parks and recreation system can adapt to the community’s evolving needs while staying true to our mission to promote health and well-being. Most importantly, we will complete our master plan update. This project will ensure that every decision we make for the next five years is guided by input from you, our community. Thank you for all the ways that you support us – from voting in local elections to volunteering in your neighborhood park to participating in a class. We look forward to seeing you in 2022!
Be well, Ali Rhodes
