The Woodlands Waterway

The Woodlands Waterway

The Woodlands Waterway Square officially opened on April 12, 2008 and was celebrated with a festival of lights and music. Waterway Square features a unique, 120 foot water-wall, adorned with dancing columns of water, next to a cascading waterfall enhanced by "boomer" jets of water capable of rising more than 60 feet into the air. The one-acre facility is The Woodlands' most unique park, and serves as the "centerpiece" of The Woodlands. Various restaurants, entertainment venues, and retail outlets frame The Fountains at Waterway Square, creating an active setting throughout the day.
