The typical Grapevine pad runs about 21 weeks a year. Municipal pads often close early for maintenance, so the last few weeks of the season are the least reliable.
What to expect
The things that decide a trip with small children — a toilet, some shade, somewhere to sit — are exactly what listings usually leave out. Across the 4 pads in Grapevine:
Summer pool season; free entry after the pool closes for the year · typically daylight hours
$3-$6water-parkticketed
Spray ground with a mechanical dumping bucket adjacent to Dove Waterpark in Grapevine. During pool season admission runs $3 for residents and $6 for non-residents, but the splash pad reverts to free access once the pool closes at season's end.
Grapevine's free spray ground at Parr Park uses motion activation to conserve water, so features start as soon as kids walk onto the pad. Water shoes are encouraged.
On site: drinking water, playground alongside, parking
Late May through end of season · typically daylight hours
