The park
In 1878, James W. Beardsley, a wealthy farmer, donated over 100 acres (40 ha) of hilly, rural land bordering on the Pequonnock River with a distant view of Long Island Sound to the city of Bridgeport, on the condition that the city shall accept and keep the same forever as a public park In 1881, the city contracted Frederick Law Olmsted, famous for creating New York City's Central Park, to create a design for Beardsley Park.[5] Olmsted described the existing land as pastoral, sylvan and idyllic and, in 1884, delivered his plan for a simple, rural park for the residents to enjoy: [The land donated by Beardsley] is thoroughly rural and just such a countryside as a family of good taste and healthy nature would resort to, if seeking a few hours' complete relief from scenes associated with the wear and tear of ordinary town life... It is a better picnic ground than any possessed by the city of New York, after spending twenty million on parks... The object of any public outlay upon it should be to develop and bring out these distinctive local advantages, and make them available to extensive use in the future by large numbers of people.[6]
Fredrick Law Olmsted was the principal architect of the site. Architect Joseph W. Northrup designed Island Bridge, a bridge to an island in the park. In 1909, the city erected a statue created by Charles Henry Niehaus in honor of Beardsley at the park’s Noble Avenue entrance.[5][7][8] Beardsley Park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[4][9]:6
The city of Bridgeport was also home to Phineas T. Barnum and his world famous circus. At the time of the park's creation, Barnum exercised his animals through the streets of Bridgeport, and people gathered in Beardsley Park to see zebras and camels walking by.[1]
In 1920, Bridgeport Parks Commissioner Wesley Hayes began a campaign to create a city zoo within the park. He requested that the citizens of Bridgeport contribute animals to start the zoo. In the first year there were eighteen exotic birds donated. As of 1927, the zoo had acquired a variety of exotic animals, including a camel donated by the Barnum and Bailey Circus.[1]
In 1997, the Connecticut Zoological Society, a nonprofit support group for the zoo, purchased the zoo from the city. The society continues to run the zoo as a private, nonprofit institution with assistance from the state of Connecticut and the city of Bridgeport.[1]
In 2007, Beardsley Zoo became the first zoo in the Northeast to exhibit the Chacoan peccary. In October 2011, it became the first zoo in the Northeast to have a baby Chacoan peccary.[10]
In January 2010, the oldest Andean condor in the world, Thaao, died here.[11]
On January 22, 2011, working with the Cincinnati Zoo's C.R.E.W., an endangered Brazilian ocelot kitten was born to oviductal artificial insemination, marking the first time that this kind of artificial insemination had successfully worked in an exotic wildcat.[12]
In 2012, Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo celebrated its 90th anniversary. The zoo celebrated its birthday with guest promotions[13] and a temporary giant tortoise summer exhibit,.[14]
