	About the City Zoos
		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.
		The zoo perimeter is a pathway that leads visitors to pockets of wild habitats, from the Great Plains to the rocky California coast to a Northeast forest.

	Prospect Park Zoo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The forerunner of the Propect Park zoo was called the Menagerie, which began to take shape in the spring of 1890.
		Dedicated on July 3, 1935 as the Prospect Park Zoo, the buildings constituted an integrated facility designed to exhibit animals, and was seen at the time as a great improvement over the somewhat haphazardly developed Menagerie.
		Renovation for the new Prospect Park Zoo began in August, 1989, beginning a $37 million renovation for the badly deteriorated zoo.

	Prospect Park (Brooklyn) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prospect Park is a 585[1] acre (2.1 km²) public park in Brooklyn, New York located between Park Slope, Kensington, Windsor Terrace and Flatbush Avenue, Grand Army Plaza and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and seven blocks north east of Green-Wood Cemetery.
		In the nineteenth century the Park was mostly farm land; the cost of acquiring the Park land by the City of Brooklyn was upwards of $4 million.
		The other side argues that the park is designed to be a haven from the type of city stress that automobiles represent, and that having them use the park sacrifices the safety of those using the park for recreation.

		Prospect Park is a 526 acre (2.1 kmÂ²) park in Brooklyn, New York located between Park Slope, Kensington, Windsor Terrace and Flatbush Avenue, Grand Army Plaza and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and seven blocks north east of Green-Wood Cemetery.
		Prospect Park was the largest single investment made by the City of Brooklyn up to that time, and it is unlikely that any, before or since, has reaped such high dividends in profits of intrinsic value.
		They are dedicated to the proposition that Prospect Park is the foremost art monument of Brooklyn, that it was designed for, approved by and belongs to the people of this city, that it is an important part of their heritage and, as such, it should be passed on to future generations unspoiled by inappropriate modifications.

		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.

	New Yorkers Asked to "Save Our Zoos and Aquarium" From Closings, Crippling Funding Cuts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Along with the Central Park Zoo, these "city zoos" were renovated and then managed by WCS, at the request of the City of New York, through a partnership with the Department of Parks and Recreation.
		At the Bronx Zoo, proposed cuts could also mean permanently closing many exhibits; the possible closing of the zoo during winter months; and a major reduction in seasonal hiring.
		For example, the Queens Zoo has the city's only mountain lion exhibit, and just weeks ago, welcomed its newest residents: two mountain lion cubs that were orphaned when their mother was shot in Montana.

		The terror of possibly falling through the ice into the Prospect Park Lake was replaced the fear of what would happen to us when our parents came to pick us up at a Police Station.
		The outside of the Park was well lit so we kept on walking and talking and exchanging a kiss or two.
		We would head to the Park and I would drive the outer Park drives till the hum of the car engine, the soft music on WNEW AM, the rhythmic passing of street lights and the softness of the night scenery of the Park would take their toll and she would fall asleep.
