Thousands of employees work daily to keep the City operational. The video series "This is What I Do" aims to highlight those who often work behind the scenes in service of the community.
The latest episode focuses on Robert Hinson, an Attractions Specialist at Pullen Park. Hinson, who is retired from a long career with Wake County Parks and Recreation, was inspired during a family visit to the park. He thought, “I should be driving that train!”
As an Attractions Specialist, Hinson not only drives the train but also operates the carousel and kiddie boats. He expresses his admiration for the people who contribute to making Pullen Park a special place. His favorite aspect of his job is interacting with children.
Hinson remarked on his transition from retirement: "I should be driving that train!" Now, more than three years later, he appreciates being part of what makes Pullen magical and enjoys being seen as a "rock star to a 4-year-old."
The series encourages viewers to watch more episodes of "This Is What I Do."
