FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
DATE: JUNE 5, 2018
SUBJECT: AQUA PARK AT MEADOWMERE PARK
PRESENTATION
Grapevine Parks & Recreation has received US Army Corps of Engineer approval to enter
into a concessionaire agreement to provide the first 25,000 square foot floating aqua park
of its kind and scale in the North Texas area on Grapevine Lake. The aqua park will
operate seasonally at Meadowmere Park along the north shore of the day -use area.
Empire Recreation Management and Vertical LLC, d.b.a. Altitude Trampoline Park, which
already has a Grapevine trampoline park location, would launch a brand new waterpark
called Altitude H2O. This giant, floating waterpark includes inflatable obstacles, climbers,
slides, and even a water trampoline. It also has designated areas for birthday parties or
other private groups of most any size. Staff has also developed a new beach area which
could be used in conjunction with the new aqua park.
This partnership could provide a significant increase in revenue while also providing
positive exposure to everything else Meadowmere Park has to offer like camping, paddle
sports, day use areas, environmental education programs and summer camps. One of
the requested amenities in the Parks Master Plan survey was aquatics on the lake.
Installation could begin as early as later this week, with a soft opening June 9 and a grand
opening June 16. See photos attached.
