Denver Zoo: Asian Tropics


The Asian Tropics exhibit will treat water quality capture volume on site and pass storm flows from larger events to Duck Lake, which has been modified to detain a localized 10-year storm event.

 

The Denver Zoo is constantly evolving. Exchanging a taxonomic-based site plan that exhibits animals grouped by family, genus and species for one based on environment including exhibits that contain a variety of species sharing a distinct landscape setting.

The project calls for remaking the facility completely and modernizing infrastructure in particular. Parks & Gardens coordinated a series of three planning and design projects including "Asian Tropics," a new exhibit that builds directly on the Master Plan strategy for detaining only water quality volumes on-site, using the water to support landscape development and passing storm volumes on to Duck Lake in City Park.
