| Grapevine Parks and Recreation |
|
 In 1999, the City Council approved a master plan to insure the development and management of Grapevine's parks, recreation facilities and open spaces. Guided by a citizen's Advisory Board, the Parks and Recreation Department continues to provide quality leisure activities to all Grapevine citizens. They oversee 27 beautiful parks, miles and miles of jogging and bicycle trails and hundreds of acres of natural park land, including the Botanical Gardens, Lake Grapevine and The Vineyards Campgrounds.
To enhance the quality of life in Grapevine, the Parks and Recreation Department also works hard to deliver many community services. From recreational programming to environmental education, from senior activities to children's swim lessons, departmental staff keeps an eye on promoting good health. There are so many activities, the department has it's own Playbook Activity Guide each season. To get your copy, call 817 410-3450. |
| Trail Systems |
|
|
|
The trail systems within Grapevine includes approximately 18 miles of hard-surface trails and 4 miles of soft-surface trails; with funding in place for about 13 miles of additional trails, many of which are now under construction. In addition, Grapevine is very fortunate to have the esthetic beauty of Lake Grapevine, Big Bear Creek and Denton Creek, which are truly great natural resources that enhance the experience of being outdoors on the trails.
When the trails are complete, Grapevine will have more than 34 miles of trails, linking nine parks, and many schools, churches and golf courses with the Downtown Grapevine Historic District and businesses. Also, the trails will link the city with the Gaylord Texan, the Hilton DFW Lakes Executive Conference Center and Grapevine Mills Mall. |
| Community Activities Center |
|
 Located in the heart of the city at 1175 Municipal Way, the Community Activities Center serves as the city's headquarters for leisure activities. Membership to the Center is open to all Grapevine residents and business owners.
With exceptional facilities, state of the art fitness equipment, climate controlled indoor tracks and basketball courts, exercise rooms and educational classrooms — the Community Activities Center has it all.
You must read through the Playbook Activity Guide each season to see what events and classes are happening within the city. There are many opportunities for all ages to enjoy, including gymnastics, yoga, martial arts, cooking and art classes ... to name just a few. Stay connected and be a part of this active, healthy community. |
| Keep Grapevine Beautiful |
|
Join one of more than 25 groups in the city that participate in protecting neighbo rhoods and Grapevine Lake property from discarded trash. Through the Keep Grapevine Beautiful program, you can Adopt-an-Area of your very own, coordinating a simple 'clean-up' activity. Each group reports results back to the city.
The Keep Grapevine Beautiful (KGB) community service and beautification program not only saves the city thousand of dollars each year, but also makes our city a much cleaner place to live. In appreciation, the city is proud to recognize your family, group or organization with a street sign, reminding others that you worked hard to keep the area clean.
In addition, the organization offers free classes to the public on the first Tuesday of the month at the Grapevine Library. These classes are designed to help citizens learn how to garden without polluting our environment. Speakers range from horticulturists to Master Naturalists to Master Composters and Master Gardeners. Schedules of upcoming classes are available on the KGB site. |
