I stopped by the new Discovery Green on my way to the Houston Astros opener and discovered a big fence around the park. Guess it is not totally finished. Better hurry to meet the April 13th debut!
I had to wonder how the construction of the park, and the other buildings around it, affected the Astros fans heading to Minute Maid Park. Many sidewalks were covered by construction and one traffic signal I saw was not timed. I say that because I was almost flattened by oncoming traffic. The signal was at a curve in the road. If I hadn't of looked to the side when the sign told me to go, I wouldn't have seen the rush of cars coming my way. Another warning, the park obviously has taken out many of the parking lots that use to service the area.
See the photos I took through the fence:

blogHOUSTON has a nice writeup about the park and the positive coverage it has been receiving from around the nation. I hope to make it out there to take more pictures before the opening...that is if the fence is removed.
