Complementing the natural landscape and rolling hills of the Shoal Creek Valley, this fountain at the entrance to Shoal Creek Golf Course was designed by Parks Department landscape architect Dennis McMan. Made of limestone blocks, multiple small waterfalls flow into a shallow pool which is landscaped with a variety of trees, shrubbery, and grasses. This fountain was installed in 2002, the year following the opening of Shoal Creek Golf Course.

The Shoal Creek Golf Course was built in coordination with the Shoal Creek Valley Master Community Plan, which was approved in 2000. Totaling an area of 1,978 acres, the plan established the construction of infrastructure, regulatory processes, and a comprehensive land-use pattern for development of residential and commercial properties, community facilities, and included 220 acres for a golf course. The picturesque, par 71 course was designed by Steve Wolfard and opened in the fall of 2001. It has become one of the highest rated golf courses in the area.
