Between 1935 and 1942, the Civilian Conservation Corps was active making improvements to White Rock Lake Park. About 1938 they built a small, stone footbridge spanning a spring-fed "lily pond," designed by W. S. McCommas, and a stone latrine, designed by M. A. Burke. The latrine's decorative open-air windows, featuring whimsical, cast-iron fish, animals, and birds, were designed by Burke as well. A stone water fountain, similar to the one at Sunset Bay, also stands nearby.

Up through the 1950s the lily pond was a favorite spot for children, who delighted in using paper cups to scoop up "pollywogs" (tadpoles) so as to watch the tiny creatures swimming, before pouring them back into the pond where they would eventually develop into frog.

Even though no water flows beneath it anymore, the stone bridge is still a good spot for a photograph, just like it was all those years ago.
