MLK Day of Service - Fish Creek Clean Up


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 01/27/2024
Join us for our cleanup along the 8 miles of paved Fish Creek Linear Trail and Fish Creek that runs 8 miles through Arlington and Grand Prairie. We have something for everyone! Can't pick up trash? We need volunteers to help assist people checking in, handing out t-shirts, and giving directions. Want to get down and dirty? Wear some rainboots or waders and it's perfect for being in the creek. There are wooded areas, 2 parks and a school. From styrofoam cups and bags to grocery carts and tires, we have something for all levels of physical participation. Not only do we remove litter and trash from the environment, we are improving our neighborhoods, community and world all while honoring the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It is a great event for veterans to come together as well as families, groups, individuals, and those needing volunteer hours.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

We will meet at Craven's Park and disperse from there. Craven's Park has ample parking and restrooms. Look for us at the gazebo by the tennis courts. Breakfast, bags, gloves, and some limited tools will be provided. Long sleeves, long pants, and closed toe shoes recommended. Preferably water proof footwear or something you don't mind getting wet and/or dirty. It is a great learning opportunity for anyone of any age but in particular for our youth that teaches where litter goes after it's thrown out the car window and how it affects the environment and community.
