The new Snyderville Basin Recreation District director said her son had a pretty simple way to sum up her career.
“My son used to tell people when they asked him what his mom did he said she fixes parks,” Dana Jones said in an interview last month.
In mid-December, Jones was named the new director of Basin Rec after 28 years working with the California Department of Parks and Recreation.
She took over for interim director Melissa O’Brien, who will resume her duties managing the district’s planning and legal affairs. The previous director, Brian Hanton, resigned in July.
