As a result of the recent sewage spill into White Rock Creek, Dallas Park and Recreation officials are suspending water-related activities at White Rock Lake Park. This decision comes after the City of Plano experienced a sanitary sewage overflow that affected White Rock Creek.  

To protect public health, park officials advise residents and park visitors not to fish or enter the water because of elevated bacterial levels found in the creek and lake waters. In addition, recreational boaters and rowing and yacht clubs will discontinue their activities and water operations. 

Dallas Park and Recreation will work closely with Dallas Water Utilities to actively monitor the water conditions and treatments.

The Park Department will post regular updates as to when water-related activities can resume. The public is encouraged to DallasParks.org and the department’s social media channels.
