A storm on June 18 damaged the tree and left it split in three pieces. The damaged tree was left in a small pond of residual stormwater.<\/p>\n

According to a social media post by the City\u2019s Parks and Recreation Department, crews secured the area and kept the park clean throughout the removal process.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tree will continue giving back to the community,\u201d the post said.<\/p>\n

Its green leaves are being delivered to the El Paso Zoo to feed animals, like giraffes, zebras, rhinos, pronghorn, kudu and horses.<\/p>\n

The branches and logs will be repurposed and used for larger animals to explore and play around. These include the big cats, like the lions, tigers, jaguars and mountain lines.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for your patience as we work to keep our parks safe, clean, and sustainable for everyone to enjoy,\u201d the El Paso Parks and Recreation Department said.<\/p>\n
