Waterwall Park

Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park is one of Houston’s most beloved, iconic landmarks and community centerpiece for visitors of all ages.

To stand in the Waterwall’s mist and be enveloped by the gentle roar of cascading water is one of the city’s most memorable experiences. Walking along the lush canopy of towering live oak trees while in the core of one of the largest business districts in the nation, is inspiring.

**As of October 14, 2024: The south side of the Waterwall has returned to normal operation. Please note the north side of the Waterwall is expected to be down until January 2025. The park remains open for visitors.**
