City of Grand Prairie- Volunteer Services

The Trinity River and its tributaries run through Grand Prairie, providing habitat for our native wildlife and recreation through fishing and boating opportunities.

Unfortunately, these streams can become polluted with litter. The majority of this litter is made up of plastic bottles, plastic bags, and Styrofoam. This litter is called 'floatables' because the majority of it floats on the surface of the water creating an eyesore for the community.

You can do your part by not littering and by assisting with stream cleanups during the stream cleanup season which runs from mid-October through mid-March each year.

The 2019 annual Prairie Lights event is a 2-mile, 4-million-light, Holiday Light Drive-Thru park. Half way through the drive, visitors can stop at the Holiday Village where they will find food, gifts, Santa, a brand-new indoor Holiday Show, and the Holiday Magic Lighted Walk-Through Forest.

We prefer you signup by group or organization.  No more than 12 people in a group.

**Student organizations should register individually** The minimum age to volunteer is 15.
