The present invention is directed to in one aspect a universal mounting fixture for installation of an associated water feature apparatus. The universal mountin g fixture comprises a housing, which may be designed to be cast in position within a water park surface. The housing has an interior sealing surface, and an inlet adapted to be coupled to a wat er supply for providing water to a water feature mounted in association with the housing. The water feature has an inlet for engaging and sealing with the sealing surface. The sealing surface may define an opening dimensioned to accept the inlet of a water feature fixture in sealing relationship therewith. When water is supplied to the receptacle housing, it will in turn flow to the wat er feature mounted therewith. The receptacle housing and mounting surface accommodate both inle ts from above grade and below grade water feature fixtures. The universal mounting fixture and associated water feature, which may be both above grade and below grade water features, allows the interchangeability of water features within a water park, providing flexibility in changing the design of the water park and features, without requiring reconfiguration of the water supply system or other aspects of the water park design. Other devices and methods according to the invention are set forth.
