Description and history The ecological habitat was designed by Studio Gang and features a boardwalk surrounding a pond. There is also a pavilion designed to house educational activities, officially called the Peoples Gas Education Pavilion.

The boardwalk opened in 2010, as an improved version of the Zoo's manmade South Pond. Birds like the black-crowned night heron, as well as butterflies, fish, frogs, and turtles are present. Specific butterfly species include the monarch, viceroy, Pieris rapae, orange and clouded sulphur, Vanessa atalanta, Celastrina ladon, black swallowtail, Junonia coenia, and Vanessa cardui. The space also features grasses, benches, and views of the skyline.
