2. STONE TABLES

Built around 1930, the Stone Tables — accompanied by a bridge over a nonexistent pond, a bathroom building and a pavilion — are some of the oldest structures at White Rock Lake. The tables, which sit along East Lawther Drive and can be seen from Buckner, serve as a popular gathering area, even though they are run-down and the old lily pond is long dried up. A $1 million restoration of this area would include refurbishing the historic structures and replenishing the lily pond. To date, no funds have been allocated for this project.

3. FISHING PIERS

The fishing piers at White Rock Lake are old — so old, in fact, that they need to be rebuilt from scratch, says Willis Winters, assistant director of Dallas Park and Recreation. There are eight piers, which will cost $200,000 each to repair. That’s $1.6 million for the entire project. No money is yet allocated for this.

Dreyfuss Point

The burning of the Dreyfuss Club in 2006 was a catalyst for forming the White Rock Lake Conservancy, a group that aims to raise funds for many of the lake’s improvement projects. Right after the fire, City Councilman Sheffield Kadane said it concerned him that no funds were available to replace a building as significant to our neighborhood as the Dreyfuss Club. So Kadane, along with former City Councilman Gary Griffith and others, started organizing. The group has been working with a City of Dallas architect over the past several months on a design for the new Dreyfuss building, which will occupy about the same space as the former club, and may be a little bigger. “Our building and grounds committee meets and talks with the city and its architect at least quarterly,” Griffith says. “We wouldn’t start fundraising until a final design is determined and our board formally votes to engage in the project.” The cost of rebuilding the club is estimated at $3 million, and the city has not allocated any money for the project.
