Doug Verdier's June 26, 2020 Water Works Photos

Editors Note: Mill District resident Doug Verdier continues to document the progress of the Water Works project.

Lots of activity outside in various places as the park layout begins to take shape. Much interior work is also being done within the future pavilion as well. 

New access to Water Works Park under construction through woonerf under the iron bridge on 1st Street just below 3rd Avenue.

Remnants of the former rail lines that once ran in front of the mill buildings. These were dug up during excavation for utility lines and new sidewalks along West River Parkway.
.
New arched main entrance to pavilion building taking shape. Underground utility lines are being positioned and crushed rock is in place awaiting the new sidewalk and entrance way to be poured.
