Parks, Areas, Delivery Locations

You can edit these through Settings > Edit Zoo Areas and Diet Groups

Parks (Institutions, Sites)

• Parks are physically separate geographic locations that order food independently.
• Generally, the idea is that different parks will manage their own ordering and inventory.
• Most zoos only have one location. Some, though, have a remote breeding facility, an off-site rehabilitation facility, a safari park, etc.
• If you are a ZIMS user, then you should have one park for each of your "Institutions".
• Parks contain areas.

Areas (Departments, Teams, Curatorial Areas)

• Areas are generally "curatorial" divisions within your institution such as the Bird Team, the Primate Team, etc. Typically (but not always) under a common leader/supervisor/curator.
• Areas contain Delivery Locations.

Delivery locations (Houses, Barns, Keeper teams, Strings)

• Delivery Locations may or may not be related to any actual "deliveries", but merely is a way to group multiple diets gathered for a common destination (kitchen shelf, tub, delivery stop) together.
• These might be animal houses or sections of houses, satellite kitchens, or pickup areas/shelves within a centralized kitchen
