Watertown’s Bramble Park Zoo is working to regain its accreditation after losing it in 2024 due to outdated facilities and animal enrichment deficiencies. The zoo’s new master plan, recently reviewed by the Watertown Parks and Recreation Board, prioritizes reaccreditation while maintaining positive visitor experiences.
Parks and Rec Director Dusty Rodiek stated that the current master plan is entirely new, with no elements carried over from the previous plan. The zoo’s reaccreditation efforts are underway, with a focus on improving facilities and animal care.
