The modern entrance gateway to the Los Angeles Zoo is constructed of a lightweight steel frame that allows the hanging of banners and signs, as well as multimedia presentations. Beyond the ticketing gate, the entry courtyard guides visitors toward a grand staircase that leads to the main Zoo grounds. Lined with large coast oak trees, the stairway is flanked by an arroyo garden containing a ramp system. Situated at the top of the staircase, the next plaza is defined by a formal ring of giant Canary Island palms, creating a green, grand “room” to welcome visitors to the Zoo.
