The park is a haven for birdwatchers, with over 200 species of birds recorded in the area, including herons and egrets.
The park features several historical structures, including the Bath House Cultural Center, which was built in 1930 and now serves as an arts center.
The Dallas Marathon, one of the oldest marathons in Texas, includes a scenic route around White Rock Lake.
