[edit] History
Founded in 1985 by Trisha Williams and Bob Matthews (both of Prescott, Arizona), the Heritage Park Zoo started out with just one animal: a Bengal tiger cub named Shikar. This facility is a sanctuary for non-releasable wildlife, with no other place to live out their lives. Heritage Park Zoo is also dedicated to education and conservation.
