This year the 3rd Annual Fish Creek Cleanup Challenge was challenged by Covid19 restrictions. Because of Covid19 Grand Prairie was forced to reschedule the cleanup to March. Trash for the cleanup on the Arlington side was inadvertently taken to the dump without being weighed. Thus we had to do estimates based on the number of trash bags used for that side of the trail and add with the numbers from Grand Prairie. In total there were almost 300 people in attendance for the two events. Approximately 12,000 lbs of litter and trash were removed from Fish Creek, Fish Creek Linear Trail and the adjoining parks along the almost 8 miles of Fish Creek Linear Trail.

The Fish Creek Cleanup Challenges have been successful in part due to support from Arlington Parks and Rec , Arlington Naturally Fun, Grand Prairie Arts, Parks and Rec and Keep Grand Prairie Beautiful. Some of the same people who worked last years event also worked this years event. What a blessing to live where the City of Arlington Parks and Rec along with other departments like Communications, Storm Drains Mgmt, Water Utilities, Council members and more come together and come out on a Saturday to participate. Plus this year we added Grand Prairie Parks, Arts and Rec to that list.
Our 4th Annual Fish Creek Cleanup Challenge is scheduled for Saturday January 29th 2022.
This is a family friendly event. Appropriate for all all ages, individuals, groups and activity levels. From volunteers to help with getting the word out by telling friends, sharing on social media, inviting groups, set up, check in, plastic on the playground to shopping carts in the creek. A first hand opportunity to see how litter impacts our environment and community. Excellent learning opportunity youth and youth groups.
