Description

Come out and celebrate Creek Week!

This event is a TRIFECTA Cleanup in partnership with Keep Charlotte Beautiful and Park & Recreation! Volunteers will be tackling Campbell Creek Greenway, surrounding streets, and Campbell Creek by removing litter. At the start of this event, you can choose to clean up the park grounds, walk the surrounding streets, or hop in the stream with our gear!

Parking: Parking at the Greenway trailhead is very limited. Additional parking is available at the Independence Square Shopping Mall, where you can easily park and take a short walk along the sidewalk of Margaret Wallace Rd to the greenway trailhead. Staff will be stationed at the greenway trailhead, with supplies and instructions for each cleanup type.

What to Bring: To limit single-use plastic, please bring a filled reusable water bottle. Supplies such as hip waders and grabbers will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, but we will bring as many as we can. All volunteers will be provided with gloves and trash bags. Feel free to bring your own gloves and boots if you’d like!

What to Wear: We recommend wearing closed-toe shoes and long pants to this event.


Details regarding weather or cancellations will be sent on 3/20/2026.
