Barron Park Donkeys!

YouTube Video of Donkeys 5/27/07

The Barron Park Donkeys have been well and truly loved by generations of children and adults since 1936. As June Fleming, a previous City Manager, once pointed out, they could be considered to be the "sacred" donkeys of Palo Alto.

Our present two donkeys are a miniature, named Perry (Pericles - born 1994)) and a standard, Miner 49er (born 1984), who answers to both Niner and Miner.

Perry was the model for Shrek's Donkey in the movie Shrek.
