Reid Park Zoo History
In 1965 A fledgling Zoo was started by Parks &
Recreation director Gene C. Reid, with the donation
of a pair of peacocks. Then with exhibits of
pheasants, peafowl, and guinea fowl just north
of the present Zoo site.
Reid Park Zoo has grown into a 24-acre city-owned
non-profit Zoo accredited by the Association of Zoos
and Aquariums. Located in the southeast corner of
Randolph Park, it features more than 100 species and
500 animals. The Zoo most recently expanded in 2012
with the addition of a 7-acre African elephant exhibit.
Its breeding herd, on loan from the San Diego
Zoo Safari Park, includes the first African elephant
born in the state of Arizona.
Exhibits
Reid Park Zoo consists of four zones that are
organized by the types of habitats and animals they
house. The Adaptation Zone houses animals such as
the grizzly bear and Aldabra giant tortoise,
the South America zone houses animals such as
the jaguar and spectacled bear, the Asian zone
features the tiger, and the African Animals zone
features animals such as the lion and giraffe.
The African Animals zone also houses a 7-acre
expansion (Expedition Tanzania) which was opened
to the public in 2012. Expedition Tanzania is home
to a herd of 6 African elephants, including a female
calf born at the zoo on August 20, 2014, the first
ever elephant born in the State of Arizona. A large
aviary named Flight Connection hosts dozens of
species of birds from Australia, Africa, and Asia.
