Zig Zag Bridge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Support the restoration of our iconic Zig Zag Bridge. Its footboards and frames, over which some 415,000 visitors tread annually\u00a0to view koi, listen to guided tours,\u00a0and enjoy Heavenly Falls, are reaching the end of their lifespan. In 2027, woodworking masters will assist us in a restoration process to keep the Bridge safe, functional, and authentic to the principles of Japanese design and philosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your gift will be doubled thanks to the generous support of\u00a0Maybelle Clark Macdonald Fund, which will generously match all donations up to $5,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDonate to the Zig Zag Bridge<\/a>\n\n<\/div>
