Moonridge Animal Park's getting a new home Michel Nolan, Staff Writer
Posted: 05/05/2012 07:10:57 AM PDT Sun Telegram Newspaper
BIG BEAR LAKE - Here's what's new at the zoo.
The latest development in the Moonridge Animal Park's relocation project is an artist's nearly complete 3D scale model of the new wolf enclosure.
Third District Supervisor Neil Derry has spearheaded the effort to push the relocation along.
"This should be a very nice project," Derry said. "A Disney artist is working on the project model."
The model unveiling is set for 3 to 4 p.m. May 21 at the Big Bear Parks and Rec office, 41220 Park Ave., Big Bear Lake.
The zoo's new site is a 10.4-acre parcel in the Moonridge area of Big Bear Lake.
"The property was purchased at a cost of $2.1million - a steal in that area. The new site is near utilities and needs minimal grading," Derry said. "We'll develop 7.5 acres for the zoo, and the rest will be a riperian area."
Plans for a beer garden are also in the works.
An environmental report should be completed by August, Derry said.
"The best-case scenario would be to have a possible grand opening one year after that - August 2013," he said.
The project is in the Initial Study review process.
What makes the Moonridge Animal Park unique is that all zoo inhabitants were rescued.
Of those, 75percent are returned to the wild, with just 25percent kept as permanent residents.
The park is home to more than 100 animals - from snakes to bears.
Animals include black bears and
grizzlies, wolves, coyotes, mountain lions and bobcats, foxes, raccoons and eagles, docent Pam Brostedt said.
"We are not a zoo," said staff member Margaret Schwab. "We're a rescue organization, and all the animals who need to be here are here."
The current Moonridge Animal Park is open daily year-round - except for Christmas Day.
"I'm really excited about this project," Derry said. "The current park is open, and we invite people to come up and enjoy it now," Derry said.
For more information, call Moonridge Animal Park at 909-584-1299.
Reach Michel via email, call her at 909-386-3859.

Big Bear valley is a four season resort as well as a
beautiful place for group events and to live all year round.
There are three major highways to enter the valley as well as
an airport.
But for this journey we will begin on highway 18 which begins
in the City of San Bernardino, California. The 45 minute
drive up the mountain is in itself a scenic wonder however
when you cross over the dam on our new bridge you will enter
an area we call Boulder Bay. Just past the bay you will find
historic Golden Bear Gottages resort filled with 28 restored
cabins of all sizes fron little Jacuzzi studios to large
group cabins as large as 5 or 7 bedrooms. This is the place to take
your pet when vacationing in Big Bear Lake.
Just a block before Golden Bear Cottages you'll find a brand
new park on the lake, on your left, because it also provides
ample parking a dock that is often occupied by fishermen and
ladies with a great lake view!
Another quarter mile on your left and you will see a sign for
Pleasure Point Marina which has as much to do about boat
rentals, guided fishing tours and wakeboarding as well as
full and part time What To Do In Big Bear fishing and boating!
Big Bear valley is a beautiful four season resort as well as
a beautiful place to live all year round.
Another quarter mile on your right up highway 18 and you will
find a locals favorite called Azteca Grill with authentic
Mexican dishes to die for at very reasonable prices including
beer and wine. Say hello to your hosts Arturo and Rosa for
us!
And would believe just another quarter mile up the road on
your right you will find a long time outdoor fun park called
Alpine Slide. With Go carts, Miniature Golf and Bob Sled it
operates 12 months of the year and provides fun for Kids of
all ages.
Another quarter mile and you have to make a decision. Do you
wish to go straight ahead and enter the village with dozens
of shops and visit one of Big Bears most famous photo artist,
Tim Wolcott at his world famous Gallery Of The American
Landscapes. Or turn left, follow the curve and just on your
right you will discover the Bowing Barn with tons of things
to do including a bar with a dance floor.
And believe it or not just a few feet more and the next barn
red building is Big Bears newest entertainment center, the
Big Bear Fun Plex with its own lazer-tag court, alpine roller
coaster and, bumper cars, pool tables, arcade games and did
we mention the pizza restaurant inside?
By the way just few blocks more on your right and you will
the office for Action Zipline which is a 3 hour excursion
high up in the forest with nine zip lines that are sure to
open your eyes and give your heart a thrill. Don't miss this
"once in a lifetime opportunity"
Now just for a minute let me introduce you to our beautiful
forest with over 450 miles of off road vehicle paths as well
as an untold number of miles in bike paths and while we're on
the subject of bike paths just a quarter of a mile on your
right you will find Summit Blvd. entrance to that well known
premier ski slope and right on the corner with a huge parking
lot is another premier business called Chains Required that
not only rents bikes in the summer but skis in the winter.
What an ideal location.
By now you know that Big Bear is all about fresh air and
recreation with super relaxation!
When you are well rested from the recreating and shopping,
etc. let us introduce you to just two more places you will
want to know about. Go back down Moonridge road and turn
right and drive past the Stater Brothers and Von's shopping
centers and about a mile down the road you will find a fun
place on your right called Big Bear Snow Play and of course
its only open in the winter but on a very gentle hill that's
just right for small children as well as the adults you might
have with you.
And would you believe right across the highway is a giant of
a building called The Big Bear Lake Convention Center. This
building happens to house the largest Octoberfest celebration
in the state of California as well as a dozen major events
throughout the year. And would you believe it can hold up to
1500 people? For you Corporate types that are looking for a
location that provides a change in atmosphere with a ton of
old-world hospitality the Big Bear Lake convention center is
worth a look-see. Transportation from your accomodations the
valley is available.
The Big Bear Valley Historical Societies building and exhibit
is just a couple more miles out to the east of here housing
more mining information and such including the original
settlers, the Serrano Indians.
For more local events and traveler's information, stop by the
office at Golden Bear Cottages near Boulder Bay at 39367 Big
Bear Blvd. The friendly office staff will provide you with
visitor's maps and local coupons for boat rentals, stores and
restaurants. They have a wounderful mountain gift shop there
too. You can also call the visitor's information office at
