The Piano Waterfall is located within Hwado Green Water Center, an eco-friendly facility in Hwado-eup, Namyangju-si. The site features an artificial waterfall as well as free water play areas, an ecological park, and a piano-shaped restroom. The Piano Waterfall operates by erecting a steel structure at a cut slope, forming an artificial cliff with rock molds, and pumping treated wastewater from the sewage treatment plant to cascade down the 61-meter cliff. It has been operating since 2005 but is closed during winter from December to February to prevent freezing. Opposite the Piano Waterfall is the piano-shaped restroom, which won the 2008 'Beautiful Restroom' award. The restroom includes a nursing room and lounge, with plants placed throughout. The space, designed with full windows, allows a direct view of the Piano Waterfall. The free water play area runs temporarily in summer with shallow depths safe for children, along with various sculptures, shade tents, and deck facilities. Nearby, a kiosk sells simple snacks, and an ecological park offers pleasant walking areas. Adjacent to the parking lot, the environmental promotion center provides an educational experience worth visiting.
