Entrances, Walks, Etc. — The portion of the Zoological Park situ- 

 ated west of the Boston Road has been enclosed. Access to this area 

 is provided by six entrances, one situated at each corner — one on the 

 Boston Road and one at the bridge on Pelham Avenue. The latter is 

 a carriage entrance for visitors wishing to drive to the north end of 

 Baird Court. From all these entrances broad walks lead into the Park 

 and through it, reaching all the collections of animals now installed. 



Carriage Roads. — The only wagon road which enters the central 

 portion of the Park now occupied by animals is the Service Road, which 

 enters from the Southern Boulevard, at 185th Street, and runs eastward, 

 to the Service Building, Reptile House, Bear Dens, and Rocking Stone 

 Restaurant. 



This rood is for business purposes only, and is not open for the 

 vehicles of visitors. It is utterly impossible to admit carriages to the 

 center of the Park, save those of officers entering on business, and 

 visitors must not ask for exceptions to this very necessary rule. 



Automobile and Carriage Entrance. — A fine public carriage road 

 and concourse, leading from Pelham Avenue Bridge and to the upper 

 end of Baird Court, was completed in 1908. This drive is open to car- 

 riages or motors, daily, and it affords easy access to the most important 

 group of buildings. It is subject to the same regulations as all other 

 entrances, except that carriages and automobiles are admitted. 



The Boston Road, which runs through the Park from south to 

 north, near the western bank of the Bronx Lake, is open at all hours. 

 It has recently — and for the first time — been finely improved by the 

 Park Department for the Borough of The Bronx, and a drive through 

 it affords a fine view of the eastern side of the Buffalo Range, and the 

 finest portion of the heavy forest of the Zoological Park. 



As a matter of course, the ranges of the buffalo, antelope, deer, 

 moose, and elk, are in full view from the Kingsbridge Road and South- 

 ern Boulevard, and the Zoological Society has planned that the view 

 from those avenues shall be left open sufficiently that the herds may be 

 seen to good advantage. 



The Rocking Stone Restaurant has been designed to serve 

 all the purposes that its name implies. It contains dining-rooms in which 

 full meals may be obtained, lunch-rooms wherein choice food will be 

 served at popular prices, and in the basement, toilet-rooms will be found. 



The Service Building, near the Reptile House, and at the 

 geographical center of the enclosed grounds, is situated a building which 

 contains the Bureau of Administration of the Zoological Park. Here 

 will be found the offices of the Chief Clerk, several other Park officers, 

 and the workshops and storerooms.
