APPLICANT: George Tadros
PROPERTY LOCATION AND SIZE:
The subject property is located at 3000 Grapevine
Mills Parkway and is platted as Block 1, Lot 1R3,
Grapevine Mills Addition. The property contains
124.5 acres. Specifically, the location for this
proposal is in the southeast portion of the Grapevine
Mills Mall parking lot, adjacent to East Grapevine
Mills Circle.
REQUESTED MASS GATHERING PERMIT AND COMMENTS:
The applicant is requesting a mass gathering permit to allow an outdoor bounce park in the
Grapevine Mills Mall parking lot, adjacent to East Grapevine Mills Circle. The applicant is
requesting the event from September 20 through December 13, 2024.
Article II, Section 15-30 - 37 of Grapevine’s Code of Ordinances allows Council to consider
mass gatherings. The applicant, George Tadros, has requested permission for an outdoor
bounce park located on the referenced property for the period of September 20 through
December 13, 2024. The hours of operation are on Fridays from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and
Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. When the bounce park is not in use, it
will be left deflated, covered, and secured within a fenced-in area.
The operation will consist of approximately 25,000 square feet of multiple connected
inflatable devices including a 13,000 square-foot turfed area for walking, sitting, and
canopies over a shaded area. There will be five (5) outdoor speakers and a DJ area inside
the bounce park. There will be a six-foot chain-link fence surrounding the structure. Total
fenced area will be approximately 53,000 square feet, which is slightly larger than the
previously approved, 2023 FunBox mass gathering permit. A whisper generator will be
used to power the bounce park. This is a diesel-powered generator, approximately 296

cubic feet with a maximum noise level of 70 dB(A) from 23 feet.
Parking will be on the paved parking lot located at the shopping center immediately to the
west of the main entrance. Water and snow cones will be sold, but no food or alcoholic
beverages will be allowed on the premises.
Total existing parking is 8,467 parking spaces. With this request, roughly 240 parking
spaces will be temporarily utilized for the outdoor bounce park.
PRESENT ZONING AND USE:
The property is currently zoned “CC”, Community Commercial District and is developed as
a series of free-standing commercial buildings.

Re: Mass Gathering Permit Application
Dear City Council:
Funbox is the world’s biggest bounce park and we would like to come back to Grapevine for a
second campaign! We are 25,000 square feet of inflatable, outdoor, bouncing, family fun for all
ages. We offer approximately 80-minute bounce park sessions on weekends. We hosted a
thrilling bounce park experience at Grapevine Mills last fall and would love to come back for a
second season this fall.
We are therefore submitting a Mass Gathering Permit application, requesting to open at
Grapevine Mills Mall from 9/20/24 to 12/13/24. Set up will begin on 9/20/24, with operations
beginning on or around 10/04/24 through 12/08/24. Break down of the inflatable park will

appropriate for families.
A description of the preparations made to provide adequate medical and nursing care.
Staff/managers are to take all reasonable precautions to operate park in a safe manner.
Staff/managers will be aware of the following:
The nearest medical facility (hospital or emergency clinic);
The quickest route to the medical facility;

3. Persons unconscious or seriously injured should not be removed or repositioned.
4. Incident forms shall be kept of all such occurrences.

see. First Aid kits are available on site.
A description of the preparations made to supervise minor persons who may attend the
mass gathering.
We are a family-based children's event. Most guests are between the ages of 3-12.
Because guests are mostly children, a huge part of daily operations is taking every measure
to ensure their safety. All team members shall take responsibility for their own safety and for
the safety of those in their immediate vicinity.
There will be at least one manager on site with the support of a front/entry lead, park lead,
and park monitors. Staff are posted inside the inflatable as well as the entry and exit points.
All team members are equipped with a 2-way radio during the entirety of the operation and
there is a park-wide speaker system for announcements. Front leads are responsible for
ensuring all families have been reunited upon completion of the session, do a headcount of
all guests entering and departing, and communicate the status to other team members.
Entry to the event requires any minor under the age of 13 to be accompanied by an adult.
Children under the age of 5 must be accompanied into the inflatable by a parent/caregiver. A
parent/caretaker must remain at FunBox while their children are at Funbox, no exceptions.
A majority of tickets are purchased in advance for a specific session, and waivers are
required for each customer.
The Entrance and Exit areas are clearly marked and separated to prevent any issue. The
Toddler Park must have a separate entrance and exit from the main park. Staff are
positioned at the event fence entrance/exit areas to ensure children do not exit without

practices for communicating with those with special needs, language differences, etc.
