Construction Updates
- River’s Edge: Pathways are complete, and fencing and landscaping are underway. We’re finalizing the layout for two additional primate habitats on the West Side. A Thru Z is mobilizing, and the netting will soon be in place. Construction is progressing well, with the waterfall expected to be finished by the end of winter, and the Primate Trails/Otter habitat should be complete this spring. Completion dates for the additional primate habitats and interpretive graphics are still pending.
- Goat Encounters: A new handwashing station has been ordered, and we are working on its installation. Staff training for public interactions is nearly complete, and in-yard encounters are set to begin this winter.
- Alligator Exhibit: We are currently installing fencing and ensuring the water system is operational. The building is being painted, but a completion date is not yet available.
- Rain Garden: The project is halfway complete. All rainwater tanks have been installed, and the underground piping is finished. The next step involves the landscaping contractor.
- Monkey Row: Monkey Row is beginning to take shape at the North End of the Zoo. We have removed four original habitats and plan to take down another three, totaling seven. We are significantly modifying the habitats for the Spider Monkeys and Gibbons, and we will continue relocating primates and enhancing their habitats into the new year.
- Pathways Project: The pathways project has been re-bid, and a contractor has been selected. Work is set to begin in January.
