Keep Southlake Beautiful invites the community to participate in the 2024 Fall Sweep Event on Saturday, November 2, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. This event offers a great opportunity for residents to make a positive impact on the environment by assisting in removing litter, particularly microplastics, from our local ponds!
Volunteers will clean up two key locations—Chesapeake Pond and Bob Jones Nature Center Pond—to help clean up trash and protect our local ecosystems. Microplastics, which are small plastic particles that harm wildlife and contaminate water sources, are a growing concern. By participating in this event, you can contribute to preserving the beauty and health of Southlake’s natural environment.
This family-friendly event is open to all ages, and no prior experience is needed. Supplies such as gloves, trash bags, and grabbers will be provided to all participants. Volunteers are encouraged to wear appropriate outdoor clothing and bring their reusable water bottles to stay hydrated. Children under 14 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.
“We’re excited to engage the community in this important effort,” said Madisson Dunn, the City’s Environmental Supervisor, and a key Keep Southlake Beautiful representative. “Every small act, like removing a piece of plastic, helps keep our environment clean and safe for future generations.”
Pre-registration is required. Participants must provide transportation to and from the cleanup locations. Meet us a Chesapkeau Park Pond to sign-in and collect your cleaning supplies. Click here to register.

We are looking for dedicated students interested in community service to become a vital part of this official city board. Past SYAC members are dedicated scholars, curious leaders, and care about the community they live in!
What does SYAC Do?
SYAC meets monthly from October to May to learn all about the local government process. Serving as a SYAC member will teach you valuable skills such as conducting an official meeting, speaking in public, and managing a project. Meeting important city leaders, learning about different municipal services, and presenting to the City Council are typical activities on the SYAC monthly agenda!

It’s time for the Great American Cleanup once again!
Spring is here, and there’s no better time for a community-wide cleanup to keep our city looking fresh! Gather your friends and family and join Keep Southlake Beautiful as we do our part in The Great American Cleanup. Keep America Beautiful’s Great American Cleanup is part of a nationwide effort in more than 20,000 communities year-round.
Join us on Saturday, May 13, at the Parkwood Training Center at 9:00 AM for a morning of city beautification and community-building. Keep Southlake Beautiful staff will be on-site at the Parkwood Training Center (the old Senior Center) at 307 Parkwood Dr. early in the morning to provide your volunteer team with a light breakfast. Drink some coffee, eat a bagel, and collect your cleanup supplies and KSB swag!
This year’s cleanup sites include available streets from our Adopt-A-Street program! Once you eat breakfast and pick up your supplies, you will be assigned a road to clean up. Head over to that street to play your part in beautifying Southlake. Once done, meet us back at Parkwood to drop off your trash bags and return your supplies! It'll be a great morning to give back and earn volunteer hours!
We can’t wait to see you at The Great American Cleanup! Learn more about this event and register today!
