The next phase will focus on partially reopening the walkabout section of the park in late May. “I’m really grateful again for our maintenance team, our zookeepers, all of our staff here, everybody who has come to help out,” Harrison said. The staff worked approximately 900 hours on clearing the park of tornado debris. “The magnitude of tree fall was just incredible,” Brady said. “They’ve done a great job of putting it all back together,” said Larry Boone.ĭuring the clean-up after the March 26 tornado, maintenance crews of more than 100 removed over 4,500 trees from the area. They planned the trip a month in advance and were thankful to see it back open. The group of 29 campers travel around Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Florida every year. “I hate the devastation that the park has had, but I’m so thankful that they’re back up,” Paula Boone said. Paula and Larry Boone brought their Campers and Dancers group to visit the park for their annual camping trip.
“We brought some new friends along this time.” “We love coming here, and it’s something that our granddaughter enjoys,” McAllister said. McAllister said they came out on Saturday to support the reopening. They visit the Wild Animal Safari anytime they come to the area. Heidi McAllister and her family traveled from Paulding County, to camp at the Franklin D. Hopefully, an animal sticks their head in,” King said.
“We’re looking forward to seeing our kids’ reaction. They hadn’t visited since their kids were born and hoped to show their kids the park for the first time. King and her husband, Forrest, drove all the way to the Wild Animal Safari from McDonough.
