Beautiful as always, the waterwall provides a nice eye catching experience for everyone. With a breathtaking water structure that the closer you get to it the wetter it makes you. From the nice walkway around the park, to the picnic perfect grass laid out in front of it, the water wall is a unique structure and I enjoy being there every time I get a chance.

Very pretty monument. Parking was pretty easy to find. Pedestrian friendly once you’re there. Do he prepared to get a bit wet as the water from the monument can turn into mist. It feels like you’re standing in front of a real waterfall

Lovely and serene refuge.It’s hard to think of a more tranquil spot in town...I love that I can just come and hear the water, no admission fees or crazy hoops to jump through.As a fan of Philip Johnson, the architect from both the Waterwall and Willams Tower (plus BofA, Pennzoil Place, etc) this is a treat for sure!

I did a little research before visiting and the waterfall was on my list of must do first. Its close to the Galleria mall. It didnt disappoint at all, I went early Saturday morning to beat the crowds. Nice park area with really pretty trees are on the side walks upon entering. This is definitely worth spending some time here. I saw quite a few people eating or having picnics in the front lawn area. Great place to take some pics, everyone was being respectful not photo bomb others. I walked around the outside and inside, you will get a little wet. It cool due to the weather in Houston was hot and dry for a September.I would actually visit again to relax or meet up with friends. They do have parking lots close in proximity.

The wonders of modern man. We loved it here. Not too big but everyone is respecting other peoples space which is great for us during these covid times

This is beautiful to look at...maybe pack a basket and go on a picnic and you could enjoy for hours! Beautiful place for photo shoots and plenty of space for kids to run and enjoy freely!

This is definitely a worthwhile place to go visit atleast once with family and friends. I feel like this is one of those places you go and take pictures and always look back and say that it was such a beautiful place. But not only is it a nice backdrop for amazing pictures, but its also a huge park. Nothing fancy about the park, but its a place where you can bring family and have a pleasant picnic and look at the waterfall. The park is big enough to play a game of football or soccer and not get in anyones way. The only negative thing I could say about this place is that you most likely have to drive into a parking garage and pay for parking. We paid approximately $5 for about 3 hours. But that doesnt take away from the 5 stars Im giving this place.

When youre at the park, just watch the water fall and walk towards it, I bet youll feel tripped out at least a little bit! But yeah, the location is just really nice and having the Williams tower right next to the water fall is really cool! A walk along post oak boulevard in the evening is recommended too!

Spectacular. Nice park to walk or sit or throw a frisbee. The walk-around Waterfall is powerful. Enjoy a break or relaxing morning.

Probably one of the better sculptures that we have in the HTX!If you stand in the center of the water wall and just stare at the water running down the wall, youll feel like youre moving up even though youre standing still.Way back when I used to come here at least every other week but I just came back for a wedding after years of not coming here. There used to to be street parking but now you can either pay for parking at the nearby garage, or park at the Nordstrom parking garage and take a short trek to the park.If youve never been here, check it out at least once

This place totally deserved a signature place to go if you ever been in Houston. Water, art, green and perfect structure design.

Atmospheric scenery must visit at least once. Good spot to picnic. You can park your car at the mall and just walk less than 5mins away.

If youre planning a visit to Waterwall Park make sure you prepare ahead of time.Visitor parking is located on the Williams Tower. The building is a 64-story connected to a 10 level, 3,208 car parking garage by a sky bridge. The bridge also connects the building to Galleria mall where you will find the closest public restroom.One needs to be cautious about parking !A few days back, a lady with disability was left with a ticket on her car for parking at the entrance of the residential complex across the street.

Super cool man made waterfall structure. Dont get too close though unless you want to get wet! it’s free to all. It is worth to stop and visit this beautiful park. Very nice place to take pictures .Paid Parking is in front of the park.

This park has an unusual amount of rules, but if simply taking a stroll is on the agenda then this park is a great choice.The Waterwall smells like a pool and sounds like a waterfall. I’ve been here a few times before but I’m still happily impressed by the 64-foot semi-circular architectural fountain that re-circulates 11,000 gallons of water per minute as it cascades down the water wall structure’s inner and outer walls.This place is definitely worthy of a photo, if not two.Adjacent to the Waterwall is a 2.77 acre park.The park has a broad pedestrian sidewalk that wraps around the Waterwall and the connecting green space that looks to be about as long and as wide as a football field. The sidewalk is partially canopied by 186 live oak trees.As a warning, the sidewalk is wet and slippery near the Waterwall, so be careful.This park is a wonderful example of how land can be effectively designed for mixed use purposes.A heads-up, the nearby Williams Tower, which is a 64-story skyscraper, can create some strong and unpleasant downdrafts especially on windy days.So be careful the closer you get to the building.That’s probably one of the reasons why flying kites is not allowed, now that I think of it.Regardless of the unpleasant gusty microclimates created by the downward air pressure, this is, in my opinion, still one of the best parks in town to take a stroll with a partner or simply relax under the trees on one of the park benches.As an aside. I don’t know the schedule, but sometimes I’ve driven by and the Waterwall wasn’t running. So keep that in mind if you really want to see the Waterwall in action. It may be off when you visit. Bummer.Visitors, locals, strollers, reading, and leashed dogs welcomed. Pet owners, there are two pet waste stations for your convenience.Buffoonery prohibited.Have fun and enjoy Final tip. For those not familiar with the area. Park at The Galleria, and walk a block to get to the Waterwall. Simple.

This was one our sitesighting stops a few weeks ago while we was visiting the Houston area. It was easy to find with the use of a GPS device or Google maps. There is a parking garage within walking distance, if would like to enjoy a picnic in the grassy area. We decided to just make a brief stop, and I was able to find some nearby street parking. This an excellent find especially while we are dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic precautions...because its outdoors and not alot people was visiting in on that weekend.

The park is beautiful and waterfall impressive. Great place to relax. The one problem is that theres no place to park. The parking garage is very expensive. Itll cost you $10 minimum to relax a few at this location.

The waterwall is a 64 feet high fountain in 3 acre setting spilling 11,000 gllons of water per minute! It is adjacent to Williams tower.It is a tourist attraction in Houston. A song called Dilbar dilbar from a Bollywood movie Sirf Tum was shot here. It’s a must visit place. Great for wedding or graduation photos!!! It’s free for everyone. Parking is available nearby and it is paid parking.

Awesome place to visit. It recycles 11,000galwater/sec. Amazing job on the project whoever worked on the project. Park itself is very big considering it’s in downtown Houston. Plenty of space to bring your pets. I think this water park one of the unique places to visit when you are in Houston. Lot of people are doing photo shoots for graduations or sweet sixteen. Many people were visiting with their families. There were enough benches to sit on. You can also sit on grass. Both sides of the water wall has water flowing but inside was the most spectacular!! Be careful with all the construction going on in that area. Most likely you will have to park in paid parking garage near water park but it wasn’t very expensive.

Review №66

Beautiful place. It has a nice lawn to sit outside with the water wall view.

Review №67

The structure was impressive and definitely worth seeing as a tourist attraction, but at the end of the day it’s just a big fountain, and the “park” itself isn’t really a park. It’s a long grassy space with the fountain at one end and a tall building on the other. It would probably work for hanging out or reading. But if you are looking for an actual park outing with some walking or play areas, this isn’t the best place to go. I also ended up paying for a parking garage because I wasn’t sure where to park the car.

This is a beautiful sight in the midst of Houston and all its ugly traffic. We had a little time to spare and stopped to check out the water wall. The trees were beautiful, the sound of the water was relaxing and the mist was refreshing. The water wall is a 360 degree attraction. There are lots of photography opportunities.

This place is awesome for pictures and family get togethers. Its a 10 minute max walk from the Galleria. Theres an area where kids can run up and down on the lawn. Theres a section of trees that would be great for picture taking. The wall. The wall is a great place to sit and watch all the water to come down but it also comes down on both sides. Amazing gem of Houston
