Description

Central Park Zoo er en 6,5 hektar stor zoo beliggende i det sydøstlige hjørne af Central Park i New York City. Det er en del af et integreret system af fire zoologiske haver og et akvarium, der drives af Wildlife Conservation Society. I forbindelse med Central Park Zoos drift tilbyder WCS børns uddannelsesprogrammer, arbejder med genoprettelse af truede dyrearter, og når ud til det lokale samfund gennem frivillige programmer.

Dens forgænger, en menagerie, blev grundlagt i 1864 og blev den første offentlige zoo, der åbnede i New York. Den nuværende facilitet åbnede første gang som en by-zoo den 2. december 1934 og var en del af et større revitaliseringsprogram for byparker, legepladser og zoologiske haver, der blev indledt i 1934 af New York City Department of Parks and Recreation kommissær Robert Moses. Den blev bygget i vid udstrækning gennem Civil Works Administration og Works Progress Administration arbejde og finansiering. Børne-Zoo åbnede nord for den hoved zoo i 1960, ved brug af midler fra en donation fra senator Herbert Lehman og hans kone Edith.
