Pond and zoo work continues during Roswell closure
The Roswell Parks and Recreation Department drains most of the Spring River Zoo pond and digs out 50 years of silt with a long arm excavator. Crews deepen and reshape banks, add 15 feet of bank on the south side, rebuild a collapsing retaining wall, and plan new grass trees and picnic areas by October. Inside the zoo, mountain lion cages rise in a new brick exhibit with an educational area and veterinary check up space. Wildlife care includes on site enrichment rather than sedation and transport.
