The Riverview Park and Zoo began in 1933 with the donation of a pair of alligators to Ross Dobbin, then General Manager of the Peterborough Utilities Commission. As more birds and animals were acquired, the zoo grew in size and popularity with area residents visiting the zoo for picnics and general enjoyment.
In 1968, the PUC assumed full responsibility for the financing and operation of the facility. The park and zoo continues to expand, taking on more varied and ambitious projects.
