About Turtle Creek…
Though known for its beauty, Turtle Creek is an 8.83 square mile catch basin for various contributory streams and storm pipes. A large volume of the city's stormwater drains into Turtle Creek. Every time it rains, the creek fills with trash and debris, choking it and endangering wildlife. The rushing waters erode the banks. A storm in 2022 caused dozens of trees to fall into the waterway when the banks couldn't contain the water.
Turtle Creek Association is leading the effort to manually remove two and a half tons of trash in the last seven months while working on designing a permanent solution. The video helps illustrate the challenge we face.
We have a comprehensive plan, but we need your help to protect and preserve this natural habitat for future generations.

Two New Partnerships Join TCA in Preserving Turtle Creek!
TCA welcomes two new partners in our mission to preserve, protect, and enhance the Turtle Creek Corridor: Hanover Turtle Creek and Parkview Turtle Creek. These partnerships mark a significant step forward in our efforts to maintain the beauty, safety, and vibrancy of this cherished area.
TCA Tackles Tree Cleanup and Ravine Maintenance
While many of us were indulging in Thanksgiving leftovers or enjoying a beautiful day on the Turtle Creek Trail, TCA vendors were hard at work addressing the long overdue aftermath of a summer storm. Thanks to the generosity of TCA Patron Society Members Susan and Greg Baten, crews cleared four truckloads of fallen tree limbs, removed five dead trees, trimmed hazardous dead branches, and raised the canopies of several large trees near Park Bridge Court. These efforts have significantly enhanced both the safety and aesthetics of the area.
Concerning Discovery During Turtle Creek Cleanup
As part of our ongoing collaborative partnership with Hillwood Urban, the Turtle Creek Association (TCA) is committed to keeping Turtle Creek clean and beautiful from Avondale to Maple Avenue. The volume of trash our crews remove is remarkable, and it’s always interesting to hear about some of the unusual items uncovered during cleanups. Typical finds include shopping carts, golf balls from the Dallas Country Club, and now 12 unspent bullets scattered along the creek.
