Stop by and welcome Joshua Edwards (he/him) the newly hired Recreation Center Coordinator at Rainier Beach Community Center and Pool
We are excited to introduce the new coordinator for Rainier Beach Community Center and Pool, Joshua Edwards (he/him)! His first day will be Wednesday, November 5.
Joshua comes to SPR from the City of Glendale Parks and Recreation Department in Arizona, where he served as Recreation Coordinator, overseeing athletic programs, community events, and staff operations. Prior to that, he was the Director of Recreation for the Blue Island Park District in Illinois where he managed the recreation department and launched large-scale community events such as the "BBQ on the Hill" and the Blue Island Dragon Boat Festival. His leadership has fostered partnerships with organizations like the Chicago White Sox and earned him recognition as one of the National Recreation and Park Association’s “30 Under 30” professionals.
Outside of work, Joshua enjoys travelling and collecting vinyl records. He is a dynamic and motivated recreation professional with a strong background in community engagement, athletics, and event management, and we are thrilled to have him join our department next month!
