Due to elevated Grapevine Lake levels from ongoing rain, Grapevine is limiting the distribution of loanable life jackets to one location, according to city officials.
The life jackets, provided by the Grapevine Fire Department, are currently available only at Rockledge Park. Normally, there are six life jacket “trees,” , which each offer 26 life vests, at city parks.
