George Rodriguez
George Rodriguez has worked for the parks crew since June of 2014. He began his career working on the mow crew. George’s ability to work with a team and learn quickly led him to more responsibility and opportunity within the parks division. He now is in an integral part in all park operations. From planting and horticultural design to ball field maintenance and playground inspections, George has shown himself to be capable of all tasks, taking the initiative to assist in any way he can. What sets George apart is his happy and outgoing demeanor. George is always willing to help and make you laugh. He unassumingly will assist patrons to their cars, open doors, and answer questions. The energy emanating for George elevates each person he comes in contact with. We are proud to have George work for the River Trails Park District and take delight in awarding him Employee of the Season!
