One year later, the park added a small collection of animals, creating Roger Williams Park Zoo, the third-oldest zoo in the country.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the animal collection developed, so too did the landscape of Roger Williams Park, with the entire collection eventually becoming consolidated into a localized area within the park, forming what is today known as Roger Williams Park Zoo.
