News Release - Miniature Train Ride Repaired

August 14, 2024 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

RIVERVIEW PARK & ZOO TRAIN REPAIRED

Peterborough, Ontario

The Riverview Park and Zoo’s James Hamilton Railway is now open!

The James Hamilton Railway provides more than 66,000 riders seasonally with a safe and joyful experience. Thanks to our generous donors, staff, and skilled mechanics, the 50-year-old train is back in service.

The train ride is nearing the end of its service life and we have been planning for its replacement soon. Until we have successfully completed our fundraising campaign and the procurement process to purchase a new train, we will do all we can to keep the existing beloved train in service.

Thanks to our generous community partners and donors, we are nearing our fundraising target for the new train. If you can, please consider donating to help replace the train at the only free-admission accredited zoo in Canada. Donations can be made through our website www.riverviewparkandzoo.ca

We look forward to seeing you at Riverview Park and Zoo.
