Woodland Park Zoo closes pony ring
Woodland Park Zoo’s ponies are getting old, so the zoo will not operate its pony ring this spring and summer, and will not offer pony rides until a new facility can be built.
The zoo has had pony rides since 1919.
Miniature horses will still be available for children to pet at the Family Farm section.
Anyone who would like to share memories of the pony rides can e-mail newstips@ heraldnet.com.
