It’s back to the drawing board for the Baton Rouge Zoo.
After a tumultuous first half of 2018, in which BREC made clear it wanted to move the zoo from north Baton Rouge to Airline Highway Park—then changed course a month later after a public uproar—the zoo is on track for a revamp at its current location.
In June, BREC officials issued requests for proposals to overhaul the nearly 50-year-old zoo and the surrounding 600-acre Greenwood Community Park.
