The Riverview Park & Zoo is a park and zoo located in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. It was founded in 1933 by Ross Dobbin, general manager of the Peterborough Utilities Commission. In 1968, the commission took over its operations. The zoo was accredited in 1985 and remains the only free admission accredited zoo in Canada. Parking is also free. It is funded through Peterborough Utilities Commission revenue and public donations. In addition to its animal exhibits, the zoo features a miniature train ride, a F-86 Sabre fighter aircraft on display, playgrounds, picnic areas and a disc golf course.[1] [2]
