This small park features a unique and monumental fountain wall, providing a great photo opportunity in the middle of Houston’s popular Galleria area. The waterfall was designed and constructed by Harvey-Monarch Engineers and Builders and stands well over 60 feet tall. 

The monolithic waterwall recirculates over 78,000 gallons of water every three hours in order to create the dramatic rushing cataract.
