The Watercourse is underway in Daybreak’s Upper Villages. This connected series of channels and ponds will add miles of shoreline paths, overlooks, and parks—another step in Daybreak’s long‑term plan to put nature close to home.
Learn about the Watercourse concept
What’s happening on site
Earthwork & grading
Crews are shaping basins and channel alignments. Expect periodic truck traffic and temporary dirt stockpiles while we form the shoreline.
Utilities & crossings
Contractors are installing underground utilities and preparing locations for pedestrian bridges and street crossings that will knit trails together.
Shoreline detailing
After grading, teams will begin edge treatments, native plantings, and irrigation. These steps happen in phases to allow areas to establish before opening.
Trail connections
New multi‑use paths will link the Watercourse to neighborhood parks, future overlooks, and model‑home areas in the Upper Villages.
Reminder: This is an active construction zone. For your safety, please stay out of fenced areas and obey posted detours.
Timeline & what opens when
The Watercourse is a multi‑phase amenity. Portions will open as they are completed and established, while other segments continue construction. Landscaping requires a grow‑in period; therefore, some areas may look “finished” before they’re ready for public access.
- Early phases: Grading, utility work, and initial shoreline shaping.
- Mid phases: Bridges, path paving, overlook structures, and planting.
- Final touches: Signage, railings, furnishings, and safety inspections.

FAQs
Can I access the area now?
Only completed, signed‑off segments will open to the public. Please respect closures until safety checks and landscaping are complete.
Will there be water year‑round?
The Watercourse is designed as a series of managed channels and ponds. Water levels and flows may vary seasonally and during maintenance.
How will trails connect?
New paths and crossings will tie into the broader Daybreak network so you can walk or bike from neighborhoods to overlooks, parks, and future gathering spots.
Who maintains the amenity?
Upon completion and acceptance, the Watercourse and its landscaping will be maintained by the appropriate community associations and partners.
