Coconut Creek has a new Director of Parks and Recreation.

Janet Hull, who has worked for the department for 13 years, is now the leader, having most recently served as superintendent.

During a recent commission meeting, City Manager Sheila Rose announced Hull as the new director and praised her accomplishments.

Responding to the announcement, Hull said, “This city is an amazing place to work, and the people here are wonderful. I am honored to have this position.”

Looking ahead, Hull said an important goal is to bring the staff together more. She plans to reassess the athletic program and hopes to keep more of the youth athletic leagues in-house.

A certified parks and recreation professional through the National Recreation and Park Association, Hull holds a Master of Science in Exercise Science from the University of Pittsburgh. She has dedicated her career to enhancing community wellness, recreation programs, and public spaces and has more than 30 years of experience in the field, according to Hull.

As the Director of Parks and Recreation, Hull supervises the planning and delivery of community recreation services, maintenance of public parks, and coordination of fitness and athletic programming. Her leadership also supports the department’s contribution to the city’s mission of being a “green city” by emphasizing sustainable development, waste reduction, and equitable access to outdoor spaces, according to Hull.
