Journey of Water is one of the multiple construction projects — along with Connections Café and Eatery and Dreamer’s Point — that have overtaken the center of the park behind Spaceship Earth.

Journey of Water promises interactive water features, so several structures are being built.

Among the structures are a square building and a long wall next to it (right in the photo above), which has recently been encased in concrete.

An excavator sits on a mountain of dirt between these walls. A fresh trench has been dug below it and large black pipes can be seen in the ground.

Another long curved wall is to the left. It has several small concrete boxes on the ground in front of it.
