Griffith Park Zoo

The Griffith Park Zoo is the original zoo of Los Angeles, California. It was abandoned decades ago so the new zoo could be built.

Description
Griffith Park is a park on Crystal Springs Drive. It contains winding roads, rolling golf courses and thick groves of eucalyptus. The zoo entrance is up a gravel service road hill and near a stand of yuccas, a small sign read OLD LOS ANGELES ZOO. Below the top of the ridge spread the ruins of the zoo. They included overgrown sidewalks, crumbling cement walls, rusty cages and man-made caves filled with debris. A bear pit resembled a grimy cement bowl covered with dried leaves and litter.

The Burning Maze
Crest guides Apollo, Meg McCaffrey and Grover Underwood to the zoo to find the closet entrance to the heart of the Burnining Maze where Herophile is being held captive. Grover hated this place as he can still feel the emotions of the animals that were here.
