Loan A Life Jacket – Available This Summer
The Grapevine Fire Department implemented the Loan a Life Jacket program, making life jackets available to those who visit Grapevine Lake.  This program was implemented in an effort to educate and prevent loss of life and is in memory of James McKenzie, a Grapevine Firefighter who was enjoying a day at Grapevine Lake with his family and tragically drowned in July of 2016. Each of the City managed boat ramps in the aforementioned has a life jacket station/tree with life jackets for children and adults. These life jackets are to be borrowed and worn while on, in, or near Grapevine Lake - and returned before leaving the boat ramp area(s).  

Available in sizes for children and adults, our life jacket trees are maintained by the Grapevine Fire Department and are located at the following Lake Park locations:
