Description and history edit

 
The boardwalk and pavilion, 2023

The ecological habitat was designed by Studio Gang and features a boardwalk surrounding a pond.[3] There is also a pavilion designed to house educational activities, officially called the Peoples Gas Education Pavilion.[4]

The boardwalk opened in 2010,[5] as an improved version of the Zoo's manmade South Pond. Birds like the black-crowned night heron,[6] as well as butterflies, fish, frogs, and turtles are present.[7] Specific butterfly species include the monarch, viceroy, cabbage white, orange and clouded sulphur, red admiral, spring azure, black swallowtail, buckeye, and painted lady.[8] The space also features grasses, benches, and views of the skyline.[9]
