Sponsor New Benches
Would you like to adopt or sponsor a bench to honor your family, a passed loved one, or business for decades to come? As part of our initiative to restore our zoo, we are completely renovating the park, one project at a time and YOU can help! Our current benches are a combination of painted wood, and hand-me-down concrete bus stop benches from 50 years ago and are certainly showing their age. The new benches are made with top-quality, 100% recycled plastic with stainless steel hardware and a life expectancy of at least 80 years! Engraving can be done upon request and is included in the donation cost of the bench. Just click on the link and fill out a short form.
