Alison Rhodes
Ali Rhodes, MPA, is Boulder’s Parks and Recreation Director. Ali’s two key responsibilities are to set vision for the organization and to support BPR’s teammates in operating a world-class parks and recreation system. Beginning her professional career in Finance, Ali soon realized that municipal parks and recreation aligned with her dedication to community and commitment to continuous improvement and health equity – she joined the city in 2002 and has never looked back. Ali holds a bachelor’s degree in History (cum laude) and Spanish from the University of Colorado at Boulder and a Master’s in Public Administration from the University of Colorado at Denver.
When not having fun at work, Ali likes to run, hike, walk the dog, read and when the location allows, sit in the hot sun by some water and do nothing. Ali and her husband Trevor have two kids and one very high maintenance dog.
