WATERTOWN, N.Y. (WWNY) - Each year, a non-profit will be chosen to get free admission to Zoo New York in Watertownâs Thompson Park.
The new program, called the Walker Family Non-Profit Membership, is named after longtime supporters of the zoo.
This year, the Disabled Persons Action Organization was chosen, meaning staff and people the DPAO serves can head to the zoo for free for the year.
âThis is a real gem for Watertown and for people as a destination operation and weâre very pleased to be able to participate,â said Tom Walker, former Watertown mayor.
