2023 Shingle Creek Clean Up

Join us for Brooklyn Center’s Earth Day tradition! The Shingle Creek Clean-Up has been a staple in Brooklyn Center for more than 20 years. On Saturday, April 22, 2023, from 9 am to noon, stop by the Centennial Park Amphitheater at 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway for this family-friendly event. With everyone pitching in, Brooklyn Center can take part in keeping our creeks, lakes, ponds, and rivers clean, improving the water quality in the metro area and the entire Mississippi watershed all the way to the Gulf of Mexico.

We will provide volunteers with grabbers, safety vests, bags, and gloves. However, feel free to bring your own pair of gloves. Dress for the weather as the event continues, rain or shine. If April 22 doesn’t work in your schedule, contact Cynthia at 763-585-7100 to arrange for supply pick up on another date.

At the Clean Up event, you will also have the opportunity to learn more about the City’s Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP). City staff will provide an overview of the City’s program and report on the status of implementing stormwater best management practices. The SWPPP documents are also available for public review and comment in the Engineering Division at City Hall between 8 am and 4:30 pm.
