Santa Ana Zoo at Prentice Park Revitalization Project – Grant Request $8.5 Million The zoo is a unique place where families can bond, children can play, people can connect with nature, and the diversity of life is celebrated. A priority of the Zoo Master Plan is revitalization of the oldest areas, the original primate exhibits dating to 1952. The primate forest will honor the Zoo’s heritage with monkeys and provide unique recreation opportunities unavailable anywhere nearby. The community can engage with the animals and the park through many recreational elements like an elevated boardwalk where people can view the animals at tree level, animal encounter zones, nature playgrounds for children, botanical garden areas, community gathering spaces, public art, and additional restrooms. Through a series of exploration trails the animals will have the ability to safely move through a network of see-through mesh trail-ways and the public will engage in multiple areas. The estimated total project cost is $9,500,000. If awarded, $8.5 million in grant funds, the City will leverage $1,000,000 through funds raised by the Friends of the Santa Ana Zoo. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. Upon receipt from the State of California of approval of the project, staff will return to the City Council to recognize and appropriate the grant funds. EXHIBIT(S) 1.
