In 1922; philanthropist and president of the San Francisco Parks Commission; Herbert Fleishhacker; purchased a 60-acre site in southwestern San Francisco. Fleishhacker Pool was built in 1925 and an adjoining zoo added in 1929. Originally called Fleishhacker Zoo; it featured a variety of exotic wildlife. Major exhibits were built in the 1930s Depression era as part of the Work Progress Administration (WPA). This book celebrates the San Francisco Zoo�s 80-year history as it revisits cherished animals and structures like Monkey Island; Storyland; and Dentzel Carousel. The zoo holds a special place in the hearts of many; as it is a great San Francisco treasure along the foggy shores of Ocean Beach.
