Barclay Court was laid out as an improvement of the area in front of the Zoo's restaurant and shop. It intentionally recalls Captain George Swinton's 1913 scheme for a court on this site. Built 1989-90, with a £500,000 benefaction from Frederick and David Barclay; Clouston and Partners, landscape architects. The fountain became a flower bed in 2003. The statue of Guy was moved to the centre at the same time and it was renamed Oasis Court.
