At the south western corner of the Reptile House stands a bronze statue of a bear cub on a brick plinth. Nearby there is a bronze dedication plaque. The statue commemorates Winnie, the American Black Bear from Winnipeg, who was resident on the Mappin Terraces from 1914 to 1934 and whose name was adopted by A A Milne for Winnie-the-Pooh. The statue was unveiled by Christopher Robin. Installed 1981, donated by the Trustees of Pooh Properties; Lorne McKean, sculptor.
At the centre of the circulation area at the east end of the Children's Zoo there is a small bronze statue of a child riding a bear. It was installed in 1928, donated in memory of Sigismund Goetze by his widow; E M A, sculptor. Moved about 1977. The statue was moved to the Library in 2013.
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.
