Sequoia Park and Zoo

Sequoia Park and Zoo is a 77 acre park located in Eureka, Ca. You drive through park within a grove of Sequoia trees. If you have followed my thoughts in the past you know I could not pass up the opportunity to drive through the grove. The associated zoo was small with a few species of primates and black bears. The zoo also had a couple of guanacos, peafowls and flamingos. Their signature animal is an elderly chimpanzee named “Bill” who has been with the zoo since 1957 when the children of Eureka raised the funds to purchase him from the traveling circus in which he performing. Bill was born in 1946. The landscaping of the Zoo is built into the Sequoia grove in the same park which of course makes the park and zoo very beautiful.
