In November, the city of Grapevine had to close its lake parks and boat ramps for a second time in 2015 due to flooding.

Grapevine Parks and Recreation Director Kevin Mitchell said he expects the parks will be flooded until spring.

“I don’t expect any changes until the spring,” he said. “We know it takes at least 60 days with no rain for the water to withdraw, so that puts us in the spring.”

The city’s parks and recreation department was recovering from May’s severe flooding with most of its lake parks and outdoor activities operational when the flooding occurred again.

“It was a little discouraging being that we just got the Vineyards back open, but we have a great staff and a great community, and I think they are understanding that we have to make sure it is safe for everyone.”

Mitchell said residents can still use the city trails and The REC.
