The sound is relaxing and not to crowded if you want to take a break for anything. Few benches to sit if you don't like sitting on the grass. Not too exciting but very relaxing instead. Love to lay on the grass left side of this wall and read your favorite book or magazine to kill time. More

This place is awesome. Parking is a bit of a pain, but if you get the chance please go. I love to stand in the middle of the semi-circle and look up. You feel you are in the middle of a huge waterfall. Tends to get crowded on the weekends, so try during the week if possible. If you are... More

Called to see the Water Wall on our way back from Kemah and loved it. Even though it was early evening, the park was full of families enjoying themselves. Loved the wall, just amazing stood next to it. It's simple, free and a real pleasure to visit. More

Depends on what you are looking for if you will enjoy this or not. You first see the ourtside wall of water when you first drive by. It looks so peaceful. It contrasts with the fountain inside with the different levels of rushing water. It is a great place to take pictures or just to sit and enjoy the sound... More

This makes me smile every morning as I drive past on my way to work at the Galleria Tower 1. It's just a very impressive, magnificent, yet peaceful thing to view. Enjoy. More
