This empty exhibit was recently used in an episode of the television show, "Psych".

Have they torn down the old zoo beyond the polar bear pit?

I remember visiting Stanley Park in 1989 and loving the park, but thinking the zoo was small and rather sad. They had penguins (Magellianic?), spider monkeys, a small tropical/primate house with some herp terrariums and Wolf's guenons, kangaroos, and the polar bear pit.

The rest of the zoo has been demolished for a number of years now, and the only section that remained open was the farm/children's petting zoo. However, that tiny area was closed this past January and so all that is left is this ugly, concrete polar bear pit.

I don't think the old pit is that ugly. With some cleaning up i could be a reminder of the old zoo maybe with some signage talking about zoo history or something like that.
Even old things like this have some potential left in them.
