Join us as we celebrate PRWC’s final chapter at Ponce Park!
Before we move to our new Education Center, we’re gathering for one last community celebration at the place our Education Center has called home for so many years.
We have reserved the pavilion at Ponce de Leon Park, and additional wildlife ambassador presentations will take place throughout the afternoon. Guests are invited to visit the Education Center, spend time with our team, and help us celebrate the memories and milestones that have made this location so special.
We’ll also be “Selling PRWC History!”
As we prepare to transition from the current Education Center, select items and pieces from around the PRWC property will be available for purchase. This will include parts of enclosures and other unique pieces of PRWC history. Items purchased during the event will remain on-site and will not be available for same-day pickup. Additional information about the items, purchase process, and future pickup arrangements will be shared soon.
More information about the items available and how the sale will work will be announced soon.
Come celebrate the history of Ponce Park with us as we get ready to begin PRWC’s next chapter!
