Please sign this petition and join us as we ask the City of Little Rock and the State of Arkansas to give Ray Winder Field to the Little Rock Zoo for the purposes of exhibit expansion.
We, the signers of this petition, support the proposal submitted by the Arkansas Zoological Foundation to the City of Little Rock on Dec. 1, 2008 for the enhanced re-use of Ray Winder Field.
In this proposal the Arkansas Zoological Foundation develops Ray Winder Field and surrounding areas into an extension of the Little Rock Zoo's Asia exhibit. This exciting new multi-species exhibit will help revitalize Little Rock, send excitement throughout the community, inject additional dollars into our local economy, conserve endangered wildlife, and provide a meaningful recreational experience to the public.
We ask leaders of the City of Little Rock and the State of Arkansas to give Ray Winder Field to the Little Rock Zoo for the purposes of developing this awesome and amazing exhibit. As one of the largest tourist attractions in central Arkansas, the Little Rock Zoo has the opportunity to drive more tourism to the central Arkansas area and provide a quality recreational experience for families. However, our vision will not become a reality without the support of the citizens. Join us today in supporting the Little Rock Zoo, the local economy, wildlife conservation, and family recreation by signing this petition.
We signed the "Give Ray Winder Field to the Little Rock Zoo" petition!

I have a young child. The zoo has been an essential element of our lives since my son was born. We have gotten the membership for several years in order to be able to go often. The zoo really increases the quality of life dramatically for families with young children. The zoo provides a great way to get young children outside and exercising instead of just sitting in front of the TV. I can't get my son to want to go for a walk but he loves going to the zoo and he walks there enthusiastically to get from one animal to another. It is very difficult for me to come up with enough leave time and money to travel to other zoos. Any improvements that can be made to this zoo here in Little Rock would be greatly appreciated. I would like to know that families with young children will have that great zoo way to get them off to a good healthy start in life with appreciation for other living animals. An improved zoo can really increase the quality of life with regards to families living in Little Rock. Thank you for considering this. Colleen Cafferty

Growing up in Little Rock was made special in the 50's & 60's largely due to the accessibility of Traveler's Field, Fair Park and the Little Rock Zoo. It's a given that Ray Winder Field should be given to the zoo. Who ever heard of enjoying a parking lot? Now that I no longer live in Little Rock, I enjoy return trips and visits to the zoo. Do the right thing....

My family and I have to travel to other states and cities and spend $$$ in those towns to go to a bigger, nicer zoo for our family. This town needs to expand the LR Zoo to keep revenue in LR and not going to Memphis and Dallas!!

The last thing we need is another parking lot. Tell UAMS, park somewhere else.

I am signing the petition in favor of giving the Ray Winder Field to the Little Rock Zoo for the expansion of animal exhibits. The Little Rock Zoo is a treasure and an asset to the state in educating the public about wildlife and preserving the heritage that these animals provide to us all.

The Little Rock Zoo is a wonderful educational asset as well as a tourist attraction that generates significant funds for the city. It is time that the city recognizes the Zoo and provides for it's future with adequate funding and attention. Please support our biggest tourist attraction by providing Ray Winder Field to the Little Rock Zoo.
