Fountains in The Woodlands
Fountains turn up all over The Woodlands, from Waterway Square in Town Center to small ponds between neighborhood streets. The Township looks after 25 of them, and most sit in park ponds. Sterling Ridge has the most, with nine fountains in six parks, while Alden Bridge and Grogan’s Mill have none on the Township’s list. The three that are lit at night are all in Town Center.
Waterway Square and Town Center
Waterway Square
31 Waterway Square Place
Town Center plaza, about 0.8 acres, open dawn to dusk. Two fountains: a lit display fountain and interactive geysers.
Dixie Friend Gay’s Treasures from Grandma’s Purse Fountain, an interactive art piece, is part of the plaza. The display fountain’s music and music-synced lighting have been off since 2023; in March 2026 the Township board approved an update, with bids due by late 2026 and about eight to 10 months of construction after that.
For the Township’s splash pads, see our Spraygrounds / Splashpads page.
Two more fountains spray on Lake Robbins; the main one, a double arch with a geyser, is lit at night. A lit fountain also marks the upper end of The Woodlands Waterway by The Woodlands Mall.

Waterfalls
Three parks and the Waterway have falling water of a different kind:
- Mystic Lake Park, Cochran’s Crossing (5100 Research Forest Dr.): a waterfall on Mystic Lake, which also has an observation deck out on a sandbar.
- Tupelo Park, Creekside Park: a natural waterfall on Tupelo Pond.
- Wedgewood Park, Panther Creek (42 Wedgewood Forest Dr.): a stepped cascade on Wedgewood Lake.
- The Woodlands Waterway, Town Center: a stepped cascade on the upper south section.
Township parks are open from dawn to dusk; the rest of the rules are on our Park Types & Rules page.
Fountain and waterfall locations come from The Woodlands Township’s GIS records and fountain map, checked October 2026. Fountains on private property, such as shopping centers and gated communities, aren’t included.
