Park attendent

June - August 2019 • Kalamazoo, MI

What I liked

Being able to be outside most of the day improving public green areas.

What I wish was different

There is alot of time spent driving from park to park using inefficient vehicles, and all of the machines we used use gasoline. I would like it if there was a change to a cleaner energy, or at the very least some more efficient equipment.

Advice

It's important to get ready for your day the night before.
