Overview
Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park is a dramatic 64-foot semicircular fountain in Houston's Uptown District, built directly opposite the Williams Tower (formerly the Transco Tower) — its height symbolizes the tower's 64 stories. Water cascades in wide sheets down both the concave and convex sides of the horseshoe-shaped wall, creating a striking backdrop that's a favorite spot for wedding and engagement photos.
Locals simply call it "The Waterwall." The fountain sits amid a grove of Texas live oaks, and its steady rush of water makes it a popular stop for a quiet break from the city or a scenic detour while exploring the Uptown/Galleria area.
