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 Waterway continues to expand including the recently opened Viking Cooking School , as well as Crush Wine Bar, Grimaldis Pizza baked in a 'Coal Fired' Oven, a new hotel and a luxury condo all in the works.

Located just east of The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel and Convention Center, The Woodlands Waterway Square is an initiative of The Woodlands Development Company, The Woodlands Township and The Woodlands Town Center Owners Association. The colored light fountains at the square are adjacent to Waterway Avenue which runs between The Woodlands Parkway and Lake Robbins Drive. Waterway Avenue ends directly in front of Tinseltown 17 and affords a scenic view of Waterway Square as it crosses the The Waterway. The Woodlands Waterway Cruisers and the Woodlands Trolley provide excellent transportation in and around the Downtown Woodlands area.

The Park at Market Street also features a colored light fountain available for the kids to splash and frolic in the water as it shoots up from the ground.

The one acre facility at Waterway Avenue is The Woodlands' newest and most unique park and serves as the "centerpiece" of The Woodlands Waterway District.

The Gooses Acre, Americas, and Baker Street Pub are open and other buildings are under construction and will offer additional restaurants and entertainment choices.

The Waterway Square Fountains are sure to become a favorite evening destination for residents of Houston, Spring, Conroe, and The Woodlands. The Woodlands Waterway is unique to the Greater Houston / Spring / Conroe area and is expected to bring excitement to the community as it will enhance community appeal and creates a place to meet friends, relax, and create happy memories.
