Gail Brown, Chief Development Officer for the Reid Park Zoo, recently sent the following update regarding  the Zoo expansion the Rotary Club of Tucson contributed to through the 2018 Tucson Classics Car Show as one of the Secondary Beneficiaries of our Centennial celebration.
 
“I wanted to give you the great news that we got the letter from the City to proceed with World of Play! (previously called the Treetop Adventure).  That means Ace, our architect, will make a few tweaks to design and then we will be able to break ground – hopefully end of year. We’ve also started the interpretive conversations with a firm. The firm designs signage, fun interactive things for the kids to do – all related to the area within World of Play. Such as sounds (like Orcas singing in the ice cave), touch, smell, sight. Going to be such an amazing place for kids (and I know lots of adults who want to go through it too!).

Thank you so much for all Rotary has done for the Zoo. You are making a difference!”
 
Warmest regards,
