The plaque says, "From 1970 to 1984, Lion Country Safari made it possible for children of all ages to experience the sights and sounds of an African safari - entirely from the safety and comfort of their cars. It was Southern California's first ever wild animal park. Millions of Americans and visitors from around the world came here for the unique opportunity to observe free-roaming lions, hippopotami, elephants, giraffes, and other wild animals. One of the park's most famous residents was Frasier, a former circus lion, who died in 1972.
The lone oak tree on the hillside across San Diego Creek is no ordinary tree. It is Frasier's Tree, named in honor of the beloved lion and his important role in helping so many humans gain a better understanding of, and respect for, the earth's marvelous wild inhabitants. (Marker Number 218.)"
