Gerald D Hines Waterwall Park at Williams Tower

by Jill Jarvis 3 Comments

Gerald D Hines Waterwall Park
In the middle of the busy Galleria is a 64 foot tall wall of water. Across from the Galleria’s tallest building, William’s Tower, is Gerald D Hines Waterwall Park.

The park has a big green space, framed with Texas Live Oaks and benches. The waterwall is the star attraction and kids can stand in the semicircle and feel like they’re at the bottom of a waterfall. If there is a breeze, the kids get a little shower as they enjoy their surroundings.

This park does not have a playground, but is a great place for a picnic. The kids can run through the grass and let their imaginations run wild at the waterwall.

The only thing tricky with this park is parking. The Galleria Mall Nordstrom parking garage is a block away and is free. A closer option is the Williams Tower parking garage, but you have to pay for it.

Still, if you haven’t been to Gerald D Hines Waterwall Park, make the trip to see it. Bring the stroller so you can park a little distance away, and enjoy Houston’s 64 foot water wall!

Address: 2800 S. Post Oak Boulevard in the Galleria

    We park at the Galleria and walk. We also bring a ball or frisbee to kick/throw around. Pretty sure I’ve seen a sign that says to not do that but no one has said anything so far :).

    […] Gerald D. Hines Waterwall – Don’t be afraid to get a little wet when exploring. The water wall, standing in the shadow of the Williams Tower by the Galleria, is 64 feet of ever-falling water that makes you feel like you’re in Bruce Wayne’s Batcave. Map it. […]

jill-jarvis-bigkidsmallcity-circle-300 Welcome!  JillBJarvis.com is the go-to blog for things to do in Houston with kids!  It is upbeat and dedicated to making our big city feel small.   START HERE!    

On this website you will find a full list of Houston weekly events, things to do around the city, travel ideas and resources for parents.

I know just what it’s like to be overwhelmed by work, life and family. I spent a lot of years traveling for work, missing big milestones for my kids and feeling bad about everything.

I started this website to make a list of all the events happening around Houston and then pick one to enjoy with my kids. And instead of thinking of all the things I was missing, I started to enjoy the things we were doing together.

If you are a parent that is feeling overwhelmed by all the things you could be doing in Houston… please just use our weekly lists and daily posts as suggestions. Pick one thing to do with your family and intentionally ignore the rest!
