Median Landscaping
Landscaping improvements to the medians in
the City. Many of the medians are aged and in
need of beautification. FY15 Hall-
Johnson/Baze and Silvercrest are proposed.
The new median landscapes will feature
drought tolerant plants and very little turf grass
to mow.
FY 2015: $ 245,000
Botanical Gardens Greenhouse
A greenhouse at the Botanical
Gardens at Heritage Park was on the
master plan that was approved by
Council in 1999. The functional core
services of the greenhouse are:
expand education opportunities,
enhance garden profile and
awareness, plant production &
expanded volunteerism
The proposed greenhouse would be
located on the east side of the
Botanical Gardens, in an open area.
The proposed greenhouse would be
30'x48' with an attached head house.
Garden Club Donation: $ 92,000
FY 2015: $ 165,000
Total Cost: $257,000

Parr Park Playground Surfacing
This project is for replacement of the wood
fiber material with poured -in-place rubber
surfacing. This is a cost savings measure, as
the wood fiber product washes away with
every flood event at Parr Park. The 2-5 area
at Parr Park currently has poured -in-place
rubber surfacing. We are proposing to add the
surfacing under the swing area and under the
large play structure.
FY 2015: $ 150,000
Trawick Pavilion Restroom and Playgroun
The Trawick Pavilion is one of the most
popular pavilions on Lake Grapevine.
Currently, there is no restroom; patrons use
port -a -potties. The old playground was
removed 10 years ago due to safety issues
and has not been replaced. The addition of
these two amenities would make a great
experience for renters of the pavilion and park
users in general. The proposed playground
and restroom would be similar to the
playground and restroom at Meadowmere
Park.
FY 2015 Restroom: $ 200,000
FY 2016 Playground: $ 150,000
Total Cost: $ 350,000

The Oak Grove Ballfield
Complex is one of the best
youth baseball/softball
complexes in Texas. There
have been many local,
regional and national
tournaments at the complex.
A great amenity for the
complex would be a pavilion
that would be located in the
grove of Oak trees to the
north of the complex (no
trees would be removed).
The pavilion would be used
to present the awards for
tournaments, and also be
used by Grapevine residents
for family reunions. This
location was selected due to
its proximity to an existing
restroom and parking.
Total Cost: $290,000
Oak Grove Park Pavilion
Town Square Gazebo Renovation
Town Square is one of the most frequented
visited parks in the heart of downtown. The
proposed renovation would address some
technology needs for the festivals and
events. Part of the renovation includes
adding synthetic turf grass to the dirt areas.
Total Cost: $ 50,000
Bear Creek Park Sports Lights
One of the highest priorities of the
Grapevine Youth Baseball & Softball
Association is lighted fields for practices
and games. This is especially the case
in the fall when it gets dark early in the
evening. The youth association recently
funded new fences and batting cages for
the fields at Bear Creek Park. This
project will add lights to both baseball
and softball fields at Bear Creek Park.
The proposed lights are similar to the
lights on all other sports fields in
Grapevine. The lights are from Musco,
and include installation, a 25 -year
warranty and electrical upgrades to the
park. The majority of this funding will
come from Open Space funds.
Open Space Funds: $ 308,000
FY 2015: $ 107,000
Total Cost: $ 415,000
Library Genealogy / Teen Room Expansic
This project is for the expansion of the
Genealogy area by 1,000 square feet,
to accommodate the collection as it
grows and grants are received. The
Teen area would be moved to the
existing periodical area and expand
that area by 500 square feet to give
more space for the Teen Zone
collection, which has out grown the
current area and needs additional
space for study tables and shelving for
the collection. This would put the
expansion in the same area to reduce
costs and meet the needs of both
areas.
Total Cost: $ 447,000

Playground Shade Structures
This project will add shade structures over playgrounds that are in full
sun. Shade structures for playground equipment helps to provide
cool shaded environments for children, while protecting them from
harsh UV rays of the sun. Parents and care givers have peace of
mind knowing that children have protection from the sun and can play
for extended hours under shade structures. In FY 2015 we are
proposing adding shade over the following parks: Bellaire, Parr Park,
and Casey's Clubhouse. Each playground is unique, as a result each
shade structure will need to be custom. This is a multi year project.
Total Cost: $ 250,000

Community Outreach Center Sport Court
A proposed multi -use sport court (basketball, soccer,
tennis, volleyball) at COC would further identify the
center as a community park and provide recreational
opportunities. This would likely attract youth and young
adults, who commonly create greater need for police
services, and which are underserved by COC
programs. Furthermore, this court could generate
interest in tournaments and camps for area residents.
Total Cost: $ 150,000

Rockledge Park Master Plan
The City has been approached by Texas Parks &
Wildlife Department (TP&W) to partner with them, and
several other entities, to create a unique outdoor park.
The outdoor park would include hunter education,
archery, fishing and other ranger -based programming.
For this project to move forward, the City needs to
provide a Master Plan and a feasibility/proforma study
for Rockledge Park. The Texas Parks & Wildlife
Department has tentatively committed $1,000,000 to
fund this project.
Master Plan FY 2015 $ 140,000
TP&W Commitment $ 1,000,000
Total: $1,140,000

Kimball Road Sidewalk
Install a hike and bike trail from the end of C. Shane Wilbanks Trail at Snakey Lane to the trail at MI
