Chris Ginapp officially joined The Summit staff on September 2nd, 2017 as the new General Manager. Chris, a UT-Arlington Graduate, has been with the Grand Prairie Parks, Arts & Recreation Staff for nearly 15 years. He started as a camp counselor at the Dalworth Recreation Center in 2003 and climbed the ladder to eventually become the Supervisor of the Charley Taylor Recreation Center and most recently the Dalworth Recreation Center.
