About
The Tri-State Zoological Park was a 16-acre (6.5 ha) zoo located in Cumberland, Maryland, United States. The nonprofit zoo opened in 2003, and contained mainly exotic animals rescued or in need of homes, including lions, tigers, primates, various exotics, birds and reptiles.
The zoo was privately owned by Bob Candy of Cumberland and has no paid employees, run only by volunteers.
In February, 2020, four years after beginning a legal battle, PETA forcibly removed three big cats from Tri-State Zoological Park to a facility in Colorado.
The zoo was not accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

On October 2, 2022, the zoo permanently closed its doors.
