Turtle Back Zoo is in the South Mountain Reservation on 20 acres featuring a variety of zoo animals including Big Cat Country which has cougars and jaguars.
Thousands of miles from the Mojave Desert, the Big Cat Country exhibit at Turtle Back Zoo has felines from the western United States. The Big Cat Country exhibit viewing area has an overall southwest mining theme and features stamped concrete pathways for visitors.
To match the Western theme, Romtec designed a rustic stucco building with log features and stone accents. This restroom is complete with two ADA restrooms, drinking fountains, and a utility room for supplies. The building also provides exterior sinks to accommodate the Zoo’s nearby petting and feeding exhibit.
The Romtec 2081 Custom Sierra IV Value multi-user CMU restroom with a mechanical/storage room has log privacy walls, kick resistant wire vents, and log rafters.
Romtec designed the restroom to fit the Big Cat exhibit southwest mining theme, as the restroom sits within that exhibit.
The Turtle Back Zoo is a part of the South Mountain Recreation Complex, which is managed by the Essex County Park System, which is the oldest county park system in the United States.
Romtec was excited to be a part of this zoo restroom building for the Turtle Back Zoo and to provide a unique restroom that fit the park aesthetic and theme. To design a restroom building that fits your zoo theme, contact Romtec to get started today.
