Homelessness is a challenging and sensitive issue that cannot be ignored. As stewards of Turtle Creek, the Turtle Creek Association (TCA) remains steadfast in our mission to preserve, protect, and enhance this cherished natural asset. Recently, the growing problem of homeless encampments in and around Turtle Creek has become a pressing concern, impacting the health of the creek, the safety of park users, and the well-being of our community.

We are thrilled to announce a new chapter in our commitment to a cleaner and healthier Turtle Creek with the introduction of our new vendor, Trash Free Waterways, a highly recommended service currently utilized by the city of Highland Park. Their dedication to excellence and the strong recommendation from our neighbors makes us confident that they are the right fit for Turtle Creek.
