Recreation

Heritage Park Zoological Sanctuary can be a full-day experience for the whole family! Bring a lunch and enjoy it at one of the many picnic tables throughout the park; come for a special event; shop in the gift shop with your new member discount; rent a space for your private group and enjoy a party you will never forget.

Heritage Park Zoological Sanctuary offers unique animals on display, top-notch education, and much more. There are several ways to enjoy the sanctuary with the cost of standard admission.

Heritage Park Zoological Sanctuary participates in the American Zoo and Aquarium Association’s Species Survival Plan for the critically endangered Mexican Gray Wolf. This program, which reintroduces the wolf to its former range after a 20-year absence, uses successful captive breeding. The sanctuary serves as a holding facility for wolves not yet ready for release.

The non-profit relies on dedicated volunteers for various tasks, including landscaping, animal care, gift shop assistance, and educational outreach. Special events throughout the year include Zoofest, Eggstravaganza, Boo at the Zoo, moonlight events, and Zoo Camp for kids.

Two playgrounds are located in the sanctuary. Near the main entrance is the jungle gym. This structure has slides, swings, and plenty of space for climbing.

The second playground is in the Kiwanis Korner and geared to a younger crowd.

This water feature operates throughout the summer between the hours of 10 am and 4 pm daily (weather permitting). Bring your swim suits and get ready for some wild water fun! The experience is free, so don’t sweat the summer!
