4.7 (10,139)A 64-foot sculptural fountain cascades inside a ring of live oaks, offering a cool, misty escape in Uptown Houston.
Description
Located in Houston's Uptown District, this multi-story park was designed by architects Philip Johnson and John Burgee. At its center stands a 64-foot semi-circular fountain that recirculates 11,000 gallons of water per minute, framed by more than 180 Texas live oak trees. The cascading water creates a powerful rush that blocks out city noise while sending a refreshing mist across the grounds.
