“We’re pleased to be offering these patriotic songs,” said The Woodlands Township’s Director Kemba DeGroot who chairs the Public Facilities Administration Committee. “The Woodlands is a great place to celebrate the Fourth of July and it’s very significant to have these spectacular patriotic songs playing in our magnificent series of fountains.

Waterway Square, located along Lake Robbins Drive between Waterway Avenue and Woodloch Forest Drive, features a 120-foot long, 10-foot high stone water wall where ribbons of water flow down seven terraced levels to a lower pond with 20 cascade jets. The water wall is flanked by stairs and stepped water cascades, all leading to an upper fountain containing 80 jets and three boomer jets that shoot water up to 75 feet high. The water jets, waterfalls and cascades are designed to create a variety of displays and effects ranging from the subtle flow of water over a stone wall to dancing columns of water, to intense bursts of water shooting several stories into the air. Waterway Square features 7 speakers on the upper level and 12 speakers on the lower level. For more information on the fountains, go to www.TheFountainsAtWaterwaySquare.com.
