Wild Animal Park
The Moose Jaw wild animal park these days doesn't have much to offer. Since these photos were shot all
the buildings on the property have been razed. This is by far the easiest to explore location that I have ever been to. No fence
to deal with, no security, not even boarding on the building. There is even a sign at the gate inviting you to use the grounds
but at your own risk.
I cannot remember, nor can I locate the year this place closed but I believe it was in about 1993. The Wild
Animal Park was a small zoo showcasing primarily the animals of Saskatchewan. I remember visiting this place several times as a
child, primarily with school. It never made a profit and always required money from the taxpayers to keep in afloat.

The locals and time has not been kind to this building

The maintenance building hasn't faired very well either
A rather large broken tree
Welded door with missing wall
Maintenance building turned paintball park
The shelving with missing wall creates a neat effect
The encore of the last photo
Someone should leave these bitches a dictionary
Cidercrete apparently isn't that strong
