Mission

The mission of the Conservancy is to enhance the identity, beauty and safety of White Rock Lake in partnership with Dallas Park and Recreation and other neighborhood and lake volunteer groups. The Conservancy supports implementation of the Dallas' White Rock Master Plan through major fundraising initiatives and development expertise to meet significant park needs, in addition to collaboration with other organizations.

Notes from the nonprofit

Since it began the White Rock Lake Conservancy has donated funds to the renovated dog park, bicycles for Dallas Police patrolling the lake, new and improved signage around the lake and most recently the renovated stone tables picnic area and restroom. This restroom has been closed to the public for over 10 years is now ADA accessible and is open and cleaned daily for lake users. These improvements at White Rock Lake Park make the area easier and safer to use for the 2 million+ people that enjoy the park each year.

Celebration White Rock

Annual community Run and Festival at White Rock Lake. This event raises funds that the Conservancy puts towards renovation projects that it is working with the City of Dallas to accomplish.

Population(s) Served

In 2012, the Board of Directors of the White Rock Lake Conservancy agreed to take on the renovation and restoration of the historic and very popular Stone Tables Pavilion and Picnic area for the Parks and Recreation Department as identified in the Top 10 projects. Volunteer architects and planners developed a renovation plan and worked with the City of Dallas to fulfill this goal. The White Rock Lake Conservancy raised private donations and paid the City of Dallas $113,957 in January of 2015 to cover the entire cost of the renovation of the Pavilion and surrounding pathways. This phase of the project was completed in June of 2015. Today the Conservancy continues to raise funds for three more components of the larger stone tables project: the tables themselves along with the border surrounding them; the lily pond; and the restroom. Completion of the project would be restoration back to where it was over 85 years ago.
