Vineyard City is Utah's fastest-growing community and located in the heart of Utah County. It is part of an urban metro-area whose neighboring cities are Orem, Lindon and Provo Cities and positioned on the northeastern shoreline of Utah Lake. The city boasts quality residential neighborhoods, business districts, and several parks. The current waterfront is used extensively for fishing, paddle boating, and watersports. Utah Valley University is planning to build a 225-acre campus within the city which is poised to attract many visitors. The city incorporated in 1989, and is currently home to more than 17,000 people, with a land area of five square miles. Vineyard has a unique blend of small-town atmosphere with a suburban character. The city also enjoys a unique core of urban lifestyles and conveniences, in addition to vibrant natural features and outstanding recreational opportunities. Since the city's incorporation, municipal resources have been focused into building one of Utah's premier park and open space recreation systems.

Vineyard's parks have grown from 7 acres to over 44 acres and an additional 28 acres are under construction. The city considers the waterfront as the foremost component of future recreational activities and economic development. Vineyard's waterfront comprises approximately 3.4 miles of shoreline. The waterfront will offer diverse recreational opportunities and ecological benefits to the community as resources are invested into it. The city's northern waterfront will host a vibrant mixed-use Downtown served by commuter rail (FrontRunner), large event facilities, and several thousand residents. Vineyard Downtown is designed to front onto and engage with the shoreline. Conversely, the Walkara Way Conservation Area, a multi-jurisdictional conservation project, is located on the southern shoreline and is in the process of removing invasive plant species in addition to the remediation of the shoreline. Shoreline elements are connected through the Utah Lake Shoreline Trail System, which is planned for over 100 miles in length and will loop the entire boundary of Utah Lake.
