To be honest I had suspected that from the photographs I'd seen. While the facilities are certainly a great improvement appear up to the standard of many refurbished or rebuilt elephant exhibits in zoos on the continent, I can't help but think they have the land to provide some grass paddock space for their elephants. You can extensively plant the boundaries and provide a soft substrate but it is still essentially a zoo enclosure, 1-2 acres of sand with a couple of pools. Maybe they will add some paddocks on as the young animals grow.
