DEPARTMENT DESCRIPTION
The Lake Parks Department is responsible for ensuring all people have access to parks and programs, providing
development opportunities and resources for team members to achieve a culture of excellence, enhancing stewardship
of natural resources and delivering quality parks, services and programs. The Department is also responsible for striving
for responsive and responsible provision of leisure opportunities while also taking a proactive approach for patrons, staff
and resource protection. Within the Lake Parks Department is the Lake Parks Administration, Rockledge, Katie’s Woods,
Vineyards, Oak Grove, McPherson Slough, Lakeview and Meadowmere Division.
The Lake Parks (307 Special Revenue Fund) is one division under within the Parks & Recreation Department. Though
separated for accounting purposes, the various locations (The Vineyards, Meadowmere, Oak Grove, etc.) are all
administered and operated by the same manager, maintenance, and operations staff; and as such, the Accomplishments,
Goals and Objectives are not separated out per geographic area. This is consistent with the Operating Budget Report
which only shows one set of Objectives and Performance Indicators for the entire Lake Parks Division.

There are 4 separate leases between the US Army Corps of Engineers and the City of Grapevine which include the
geographical areas listed below. Each area is operated under the Lake Parks Division of the Parks & Recreation
Department.

MISSION STATEMENT
It is the mission of Grapevine Parks and Recreation to enhance the quality of life of the citizens of Grapevine, through the
stewardship of natural resources and the responsive provision of quality leisure opportunities. The Lake Parks Division
operates within the Parks & Recreation Department and shares the same Mission Statement.
