A LEGACY BUILT AROUND THE LAKE.
Since 1989, the White Rock Lake Foundation has brought together the community to protect, preserve, and enhance one of Dallas’ most treasured spaces.
WE EXIST FOR ONE REASON: THE LAKE
The White Rock Lake Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and enhancing the natural beauty, safety, and accessibility of White Rock Lake Park.
We work alongside Dallas Park & Recreation, local partners, and the community to fund projects that make a lasting impact — from trail improvements to historic preservation.
IT STARTED WITH A SHARED VISION
Founded in 1989, the White Rock Lake Foundation was created to unite community resources in support of the lake.
By 1995, the Foundation played a key role in supporting the bond initiative that funded the lake’s first major dredging project — a milestone that helped restore and protect the lake for future generations.
What began as a focused effort has grown into decades of ongoing stewardship.

WE BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER
The Foundation acts as a connector — working with city departments, neighborhood groups, and lake organizations to identify priorities and fund meaningful improvements.
There’s no hierarchy here — just a shared commitment to doing what’s best for the lake.
