	About the City Zoos
		Groundbreaking for the Prospect Park Zoo project occurred in August, 1989, beginning the $37 million renovation of the badly deteriorated zoo.
		It was the second of three "city zoos" to be renovated and operated by Wildlife Conservation Society, through a partnership with the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.
		Unlike the much older Central Park and Prospect Park zoos (which were renovated and reopened by WCS in 1988 and 1993, respectively), the Queens Zoo had only existed since 1968.

	Central Park Zoo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		No zoo was envisaged in Olmsted and Vaux's original "Greensward" design for Central Park, but the Central Park menagerie evolved from gifts of exotic pets and other animals informally given to the Park.
		By 1980, the zoo, like Central Park itself, was sadly dilapidated; in that year, responsibility for its management was assumed by the New York Zoological Society.
		The zoo was closed in the winter of 1983, and demolition began.

	Central Park Zoo and Tisch Children's Zoo, New York
		The Central Park Zoo's five acres seem tiny compared to the over five hundred acre sprawl of the Bronx Zoo.
		Like the Prospect Park Wildlife Center, this zoo is arranged in a circle around a sea lion pool; a pathway that takes you past the outdoor pens that have monkeys, otters, water birds, and polar bears.
		The Tisch Children’s Zoo, just across 65th Street from the Central Park Zoo, is a petting zoo with mostly farm animals; pigs, cows, sheep and goats as well as rabbits, turtles and some waterfowl.

		The Central Park Zoo, an innovator in interpretive concepts for zoos, has turned to poetry in its quest to portray the significance of the earth’s loss of biodiversity.

		The zoo project planners had a sense that the project could be a powerful way to increase visitor awareness of conservation issues, but planned to test the project’s true effectiveness with a scientific study.

		Amid considerable embarrassment, the various involved park officials scrambled and, luckily for them, the Tisch family came to the rescue with the required funding and are now honored by a relatively large metal sign just within the remnants of the handsome old gate.
		While the old zoo had a cartoony architecture that was whimsical, the new one has three gargantuan tree-trunks, each completely artificial, albeit done with impressive detail and, one should think, expense, and not quite exquisite hanging plastic strips.
		The larger zoo was rebuilt several years ago at the urging and insistence of the same zoological people who felt that the old zoo was not a proper environment for animals.
