With the summer season approaching, Boulder Parks and Recreation has successfully filled nearly all seasonal roles. A handful of positions are still available for those looking for summer employment, and potentially beyond.
The City of Boulder launched its summer seasonal hiring campaign in March to fill more than 200 positions across various Boulder Parks and Recreation (BPR) roles. These positions, which include camp counselors, lifeguards, and park maintenance staff, are essential to delivering the city’s wide range of summer activities, such as youth camps, outdoor recreation programs, and park maintenance services.
By late April, 71 positions had already been filled, with an additional 120 expected to start by June 1. The community’s response to the hiring campaign has been overwhelmingly positive, reaching more than 140,000 members of the Boulder community through targeted social media outreach and engagement efforts.
BPR will continue to post job openings as vacancies arise throughout the summer. Each spring, BPR conducts a major hiring campaign to fill a wide range of summer positions. As summer operations begin to wind down, additional job opportunities will be posted in the fall to support ongoing fall and winter programs, as well as to backfill seasonal vacancies. BPR is excited to have so many employees, Play Here, Work Here and Grow Here, showing the importance of staff who are committed to the parks, programs and facilities BPR operates.
These summer seasonal roles are vital to Boulder Parks and Recreation’s ongoing commitment to promoting the health and well-being of the entire Boulder community by collaboratively providing high-quality parks, facilities, and programs. The successful 2025 summer hiring campaign helps ensure these services and programs continue to serve the community and offer enriching summer experiences for residents and visitors throughout the summer season.
