    Job Description

    Parks & Recreation Director

    City of Post Falls, Idaho

    Salary: Starting at $113,942

     

    Located in the scenic beauty of northern Idaho, Post Falls offers the perfect blend of small-town charm and outdoor adventure. Known for its stunning landscapes, the town is set against the backdrop of lush forests, the Spokane River, and towering mountains. Whether you're exploring the Post Falls Dam and its cascading waterfall, enjoying a day on the Spokane River, or hiking the nearby trails, there’s no shortage of natural beauty to discover. A strong sense of community and welcoming atmosphere makes it an ideal place to call home or visit. Outdoor enthusiasts can take advantage of numerous recreational opportunities, from boating and fishing to skiing in the winter months. Conveniently located between Coeur d'Alene and Spokane, Washington, Post Falls provides the peace and serenity of a rural retreat, while still being conveniently close to city amenities.

     

    The City of Post Falls Parks & Recreation Department operates with a FY 2025 budget of approximately $9.2 million, which includes impact fees, is staffed by 32 FTEs, and is comprised of four divisions: Parks, Recreation, Urban Forestry, and Cemetery. Post Falls manages over 900 acres of parkland and natural open spaces, including more than 36 city parks, and also maintains 3.5 miles of river frontage, 21,000 square feet of beach area, whitewater access, and a riverfront amphitheater. The Recreation Division supports a wide range of youth and adult sports, special events, camps, and outdoor activities, with more than 8,000 annual participants. The department’s Urban Forestry program, which has earned Post Falls the Tree City USA designation since 2002, plays a critical role in environmental stewardship, contributing to air and water quality, habitat preservation, and community aesthetics. The Cemetery Division oversees the maintenance and operation of the city-owned cemetery, while the department also engages in land acquisition and long-range planning to support community growth.

     

    The Parks & Recreation Director is responsible for planning, organizing, coordinating, and directing all phases of the Parks & Recreation Department's programs and functions. This position performs a wide range of management, administrative, supervisory, and technical duties. The Director directly supervises the Park Manager, Recreation Manager, Parks Planner, and Cemetery Sexton, and provides indirect oversight of the department’s full-time, part-time, and seasonal staff, as well as volunteers. While the position reports to the City Administrator and Mayor, the Director will operate with a high level of independent judgment and initiative.

     

    A bachelor’s degree in parks and recreation management or a related field, and 5-7 years of experience in parks and recreation, preferably in a leadership role, is required. Any equivalent combination of experience and training which provides the knowledge and abilities necessary to perform the work will be considered. The ideal candidate will be a certified Parks and Recreation Professional (CPRP).
