The layout of the Park is based on a nature walk. The animals are in large natural enclosures scattered along the 100% boardwalk park trail. Aside from the 40 hectares of the park containing the nature trails and animal displays, there is an additional 1415 hectares which is undeveloped. This area, which abuts the Avalon Wilderness Reserve, includes mature boreal forest, barrens, peatlands and the headwaters of Salmonier River.
