From power washing sidewalks to keeping bathrooms clean and playfields green, Orinda's Parks and Recreation pros do whatever it takes to keep Orinda beautiful - and its residents safe, healthy and engaged with the community. "You can appreciate how versatile and hardworking these remarkable guys are," said Lamorinda Weekly photographer Ohlen Alexander after recently observing a day in the life of facility attendants Antonio Arroyo and Les Graham.
The dynamic duo are known as much for their ready smiles as their helping hands - even when work shifts extend past midnight due to late night city council and commission sessions. So, next time you see them out and about, introduce yourself and say, "Thanks."
