BACKGROUND:
The City Council last approved an update to the Parks, Recreation & Open Space
Master Plan in July of 1999. In order to be eligible for grants for parkland acquisition
and development of parks and recreation facilities, the Texas Parks & Wildlife
Department requires that a master plan be no older than 10 years. Several of the key
elements in this master plan update are getting feedback from residents on the lake
parks, expansion of the Community Activities Center and a plan for the 30+ acre Wall-
Farrar Park that was donated to the city in May of 2005.

F Master Plan for
City of Grapevine Parks,Recreation&Open Space Services
Objective
Develop a 10-Year City of Grapevine Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan that achieves the
desired outcomes for the City of Grapevine to continue to preserve the City's natural resources, provide
innovative park and recreation developments including recreation facilities and programs that meet
current and future community needs, grow participation in healthy lifestyles through an accessible and
sustainable system of parks.
Project Approac h
The foundation of the PROS Team approach is a comprehensive public participation process. It is very
important to not only to engage those who are always participating in the planning process but also
those who do not. We will identify opportunities that engage people through a variety of community
input process described below. Also, it is not just the participation by the public in key leadership
meetings, focus group meetings, public forums and citizen surveys, but also how the information
received from these community input processes is applied to the overall planning process to articulate
accurately the true unmet needs, address key issues and provide the greatest recommendations, and
strategies to move the Department forward for optimum results as it applies to park, recreation and
open space in the city.
The PROS Team proposes to utilize its Community Values ModelT", as the foundation of the Parks and
Recreation Master Plan. The Community Values Modeff is an innovative process approach to gather
comprehensive public input and insight from key community leaders, stakeholders, general public and
users to define the overall guiding principles and values of the community related to the delivery of
parks, recreation facilities and program services in Grapevine. The Community Values Moderm is then
used as the basis for developing or reaffirming the vision, mission and community values-strategic
objectives. The strategic objectives address six unique areas of parks and recreation planning including:
ME
•Principles of .Land&Open •Levels of Service •Funding •Public/Public •Design/Align
community Space Delivery mechanisms to •Public/Notfor organization to
•Mandatory •Facilities •Core services support Profit supportvision
elements for •Programs •Role in delivery vs. operations and •Public/Private and values of
facilities, •Maintenance other service capital community
programs& providers
services
PROS Consulting, LLC proposes this comprehensive planning approach to address these requirements in
the City of Grapevine and will deliver a living document,which will provide guidance for both short-term
and long-term goals in a financially sustainable and achievable manner. In addition, PROS will use a
series of technical assessment processes in measuring the parks and recreation system in Grapevine, as
well as assess the operational management of policies, procedures, parks related facilities, programs
and services against best practices of similar services across the United States.

Master Plan for
City of Grapevine Parks,Recreation&Open Space Services
Task 1—Kick-off Meeting&Community/Stakeholder Input
The foundation of this project will be based in community and stakeholder input. We will utilize
contacts and relationships of the City and other officials to identify stakeholders, gather input and
disseminate information to help gain consensus on key strategies. This process has to be broad,
gathering both qualitative and quantitative information from which strategies will be developed. PROS
will utilize innovative and cost effective methods to maximize the public participation in the
development of the Master Plan in Grapevine. Specific tasks include:
A. Kick-off Meeting - A kick-off meeting should be attended by the key City staff and PROS Team
members to confirm project goals, objectives, and expectations that will help guide actions and
decisions of the PROS team. Detailed steps of this task include:
• Confirmation—The project goals,objectives,scope,and schedule will be confirmed.
• Outcome Expectations—Discuss expectations of the completed project.
• Communications — Confirmation on lines of communication, points of contact, level of
involvement by City staff and local leaders, and other related project management details.
Also, protocols and procedures for scheduling meetings should be agreed to.
• Data Collection — The Project Team will collect, log, and review key data and information to
facilitate a thorough understanding of the project background.
• Progress Status Reports—The PROS Team will develop status reports to the City on a monthly
basis. More importantly,we will be in close and constant contact with your designated project
coordinator throughout the performance of the project.
• Prepare database of stakeholders — The PROS Team will work with the City who will gather
contact information from a variety of sources within the City. This information will be used in
the key leadership/focus group interview portion of the Master Plan.
• The City along with PROS will be developing a history of each park to be included in the Master
Plan.The history will provide a pictorial assessment as well as the history of each park which
will be included in the final Master Plan Document
B. Focus Group Interviews—The PROS Team will perform focus groups in the Grapevine community to
evaluate their vision for the parks and recreation in the City of Grapevine. Six (6) focus group
meetings will be held over a one day period. During these interviews/focus groups,the PROS Team
will gain an understanding of the community values, as well as determining the priority for
recreation facilities and programming, parks, trails and open space development in the City. The
following list of potential key leader and focus group participants will be used to select the final list
in conjunction with the City:
• Elected Officials
• Key Economic Business Leaders
• Grapevine Park Board
• Neighborhood Groups
• Key Partners Organizations
• Users and non-users of the parks and recreation facilities in the City of Grapevine
• City Staff
• Sports Groups
• School Officials
• Trail Users
• Campground Users
C. Public Forums— Public forums will serve to present information and gather feedback from citizens
at large. It is important to have an initial meeting early in the process and a follow-up 1104�

Wo
Master Klan for
City of Grapevine Parks,Recreation&Open Space Services
during the final plan development process. It will be important to get maximum media exposure to
inform citizens of the purpose and importance of the meetings and clearly note time and locations.
We propose to conduct a total of two (2) public forums: one(1) initial public forum to introduce the
project and project goals, gain input for the community's vision and core values for the City
Grapevine Parks and Recreation facilities and one (1) follow-up meeting conducted during the final
briefings component of the City of Grapevine Master Plan Update. The purpose for these meetings
will be to ensure opportunities for the general public to discuss their options and perceptions
surrounding the parks and recreation system in Grapevine. The forums will also afford the
opportunity to discuss priorities of the community relating to parks, services, indoor and outdoor
recreation facilities,trails,and open space.
An agenda will be provided to participants that maintains the focus and purpose of the meetings
and ensures coverage of all issues. The PROS Team will work to manage expectations and direct the
sessions toward open and constructive input. Agenda items will include the process, vision; goals
and objectives, timelines, and issues identified by the focus groups. Comment sheets will be
provided for all attending the meeting. All comments and minutes from the meetings will be
documented and incorporated into the Master Plan

The analysis is based on a PROS Program Positioning Model,or 3PM,which includes significant input
from staff in the development of recommendations. 3PM includes a template of information that
determines core programs,similar provider reviews, analysis of customer feedback mechanisms and
more. Ultimately,the outcome of the process will be the creation of a dynamic recreation program
plan for the City of Grapevine that results in increased registration, drives customer retention and
loyalty, improves customer satisfaction, and increases revenues. Additionally, it will help focus staff
efforts in core program areas and create excellence in those programs deemed most important by
program participants.
C. Park Classifications and Facility Standards—The PROS Team will work with the City to review and
confirm, modify or add to existing park classifications, and preferred facility standards for all park
sites,trails, open space amenities and indoor and outdoor facilities in the city. These classifications
will consider size, population served, length of stay, and amenity types/services. Facility standards
include level of service standards and the population served per recreational facilities and park
amenities. Any new or modified classification or standard will be approved as required. These are
based on regional, statewide or nationally accepted parks and recreation standards, as well as the

D. Service Area Analysis/Equity Mapping--PROS will utilize GIS to perform equity mapping to identify
service area analysis for specific facilities and programs. This includes mapping by classification and
major amenities by facility standards as applied to population density and geographic areas. A
service area is defined as a circular area around a park or amenity whose radius encompasses the
population associated with the appropriate facility standard for each park classification and amenity.
Using the facility standards and service areas provided by PROS Team for park and major facility
type (amenity), a series of five (5) maps will be prepared based on the City's choice. Major parks
and facilities to be mapped could include:
• Neighborhood Parks
• Community Parks ,
