YEAR IN REVIEW

PA R K S

Limited dates of service due to temporary closure for COVID and renovations. The rides and concession remained closed as well. The zoo offered private tours and parties. On December 10, 2020, city council

A Department of the City of Roswell

passed resolution 20-72 Spring River Zoo fees. The new fee structure will help the zoo accomplish our cost recovery goals. The resolution also has free days for the community. While the zoo has been closed Education Coordinator Caitlyn Lenz has had to be creative to keep people engaged with all that has been going on with the zoo. One of the ways she does this is through Facebook lives with zoo critters and educational information. She also did private tours and parties.
