“Due to elevated lake levels at Grapevine Lake, most Lake Parks and Boat Ramps are closed and there is very limited parking or vehicle access,” the department said in an April 8 news release.
A list of parks and trails affected by lake levels can be found here. The Grapevine Police Department is patrolling around public parks on bicycles and on ATVs. People who are parked illegally around the lake will be at risk of a citation.
The second reason is due to the coronavirus outbreak, the city said in a news release. Since Tarrant County declared a stay-at-home executive order March 24, Grapevine has enforced this order and is asking residents to stay in their homes and to only leave for essential outings.
“We are asking residents to stay home and limit park visits to short walks or bike rides (if needed) to prevent gatherings and crowded areas,” the release said.
Physical activity is still considered essential, but doing so in a social gathering or in a group is not allowed, according to the news release.
“We encourage residents to egg hunt at home and stay safe,” the release said.
