Save Winfrey Point at White Rock Lake

Save Winfrey Point at White Rock Lake An all volunteer organization, we are dedicated to protecting the beauty and nature of one of our city’s greatest treasures – Winfrey Point!

Winfrey Point Park is located on the eastern shores of White Rock Lake. An urban oasis, the lake is situated on 1,000 acres and is approximately 9 miles around. Located in the heart of Dallas, Texas, the lake promotes cycling, running, walking, rowing, kayaking, sailing, bird watching, picnicking, enthusiasm for being outdoors and enjoying nature.

If anyone can speak at tomorrow's Park Board Meeting, that would be great. It starts at 9, but you have to sign up to speak by 8:30. DPARD has been instructed to take White Rock Lake Park from signature park to neighborhood park. This will affect bond funding. Reclassifying the park means funds designated for signature parks will not be spent on White Rock Lake Park. It's a travesty. White Rock Lake Park is used by people throughout the region. This is a disingenuous move at best. Mark Clayton is questioning it, but White Rock needs voices again!! Carol Bell Walton
