October 11 update: Curved wall forms now border the central fountain walkways, while active construction fills a separate play-area site in Tropical Americas at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

The fountain photo centers on the circular construction. Two long curved sections follow the outer edges of the paths, with wood forms, unfinished concrete and open work areas still visible around the plaza.

Construction at the Play-Area Site

A separate aerial photo posted later October 11 identifies the center and upper-right work zones as development of a play area. Exposed soil, curved boundaries and construction equipment fill those sections of the image.

The Tropical Americas town is named Pueblo Esperanza, and the land is planned to open in 2027.

Earlier Work at the Fountain

A September 21 aerial view showed the fountain’s exterior wall already poured while construction continued across the surrounding land.

The latest construction appears in bioreconstruct’s October 11 fountain photo and play-area photo. Tropical Americas is planned for 2027, with Pueblo Esperanza at its center. More project details are available from Disney.
