Police patrols in the Leigh area seized three off-road vehicles on the first day of the campaign, with two people prosecuted for having no insurance.
Wigan Council is supporting the operation via a local community safety partnership.
About 70% of the area is designated as green space, which police say has drawn unsafe off-road vehicles.
Councillor Dane Anderton said hotspot areas would be targeted and reports from residents were “really important”.
The approach was an “innovative way of tackling a widespread problem”, Sgt Canavan said.
