It might be worth saying, before anything else is said, that this place is brand new so everything is still going to look "new".

I'd imagine the grass will be allowed to grow and now that summer is here, that shouldn't take too long! (finger crossed)
 
Indeed. Today was the three-week anniversary of this place opening.

Just realised I've got the date wrong on these. Have to correct that.
 
Is that grass? It looks like astroturf.
 
It is genuine turf but its very newly-laid - you can still see where the strips join up. As CZjimmy says, just needs a bit of time to bed in!
 
Even considering when it has grown, the enclosure still looks very spartan.

Very true - it looks at the minute like the bare-bones of what is needed - I don't know if there's plans to plant it at all. They've rather boxed themselves in, actually, by having that low boundary fence all the way round, as it means they can't put anything of any height near to the enclosure edges for fear of providing an escape route. But I'm sure little cluster of shrubs around the middle should be possible - would certainly make the exhibit a bit less bleak.
