Another Installment of Parks Workers odd Jobs

by

A few years back I told you about the gentleman who’s job was scraping goose manure off the bike trail and blowing it away with a leaf blower . . .

There was also the guy who used to water trees around Yankton Trail Park with a water truck and he would run only one hose, watering one tree at a time which helped him catch up on his latest Tom Clancy novel.

Today I bring you tennis court dryer. While I’m sure this kind of thing goes on at Wimbledon, I’m not sure we need to be having parks staff walk randomly around pushing puddles with a leaf blower. It was kind of fun to watch. I think she successfully got two puddles to stick together as one 🙂

Hopefully they moved her onto goose manure scraping or Tom Clancy novels by morning coffee break.

    Whose job is it to clean the 2am vomit off of the Sculpture Walk pieces? And would that involve a blower or a hose, or some other novel idea?

    I like how the city sends people down in front of the flood walls and along the river the weed whip all the grass and weeds down and into the river. Even though the only way to get down there is to jump a wall, it must be mowed!

    F&LiSF,
    That prolly falls to one of the multipurpose DTSF Ambassadors, recently featured by Stormland TV.
    AFA instruments used – uncertain. The standard tool bag for an Ambassador is a broom and dust pan.

    the tennis court dryer position was created during the heuther administration, and funding was hidden in the 500k the city gave to the heuther family tennis shed.

    Didn’t Huether get rid of a parking attendee position next to City Hall, who was there to just count cars? So, it must have been replaced with a blower, huh?

    F&LiSF,
    No such offering at StartUp Sioux Falls.
    The only program element associated with cleaning and custodial duty is a graduate level seminar, “Forming Nonprofit Organizations as the Vessels Through Which Government Funds May Be Laundered”.

    “‘seminar’?”…. “Are there any good colloquies there?”…. “I always enjoyed a good colloquy myself”….
