Help the Amarillo Zoo Clean Up Thompson Park

Every year the Amarillo Zoo sets aside a day to clean-up the creek and shoreline around the Thompson Park lakes. This is a big endeavor and they need all the help they can get. The more help, the quicker the clean-up goes. If you are looking for a volunteer project to help make one of our city parks more beautiful, then mark your calendars for Clean-Up Day.

This annual community event is coordinated each year by the Zoo staff as a way to keep the park looking nice and safe for wildlife and visitors.

WHAT: Amarillo Zoo Clean-up Day
WHEN: Saturday, April 29th, 9am-12noon

Last year volunteers collected over a ton of trash. A ton of trash!!! This was just in one park.
