Posted by Explorer Zero 10/5/2006 6:14 PM | remove   there was about 2 ft of water in part of the lagoon where the boat was when I was there, then we found another boat down south where the parking lot was probably moved there by floods Posted by Explorer Zero 10/5/2006 6:15 PM | remove   oh yeah south east corner theres a nice little lake there by what we have decided was the chimp perches Posted by TexasMike 10/27/2006 7:11 AM | remove   Well most of the water has dried up due to the drought unfortunately. And all the major satellite photos were taken prior to 2002 when the drought started. I've been going out there on and off since it closed and have seen many of the changes out there. Up until about 2000 you could still drive the whole park road system. Then they brought in some equipment and tore up the roads. Shortly after that they stopped storing shipping containers out there. Posted by RDShipley 7/3/2008 1:37 AM | remove   Before the flooding became disasterous (the urbanization along the Trinity River up stream of the park) for the entire complex, the park was a magnificent refuge for animals from around the world, both imported and native. The park IWP< was owned, at the time, by the largest importer/exporter of exotic animals in world, with major shipments supplying drive thru parks around the world (during my tenure, we were shipping animals to the orient to drive thru parks in Japan and Taiwan. Because of this, in IWP'S hayday, we had major numbers of animals being stocked piled to fill these orders. Then the park rivaled the biggest and best animal reserves in the country. Walking the park in 2007 (the entire park) was a massive downer considering the park I worked at in the early 80"s. Such a shame, because we had a habitat for any kind of animal you could imagine. A wonderful sanctuary destroyed by thoughtless urbanization. Thanks for the memories. R.S. If you'd like to add a comment, please login or register.
