What is the title of the season two premiere of "Parks and Recreation"?

The season two premiere of “Parks and Recreation” is titled “Pawnee Zoo.”

“Pawnee Zoo” is the series’ seventh episode overall and aired on September 17, 2009. The story centers on Leslie Knope’s attempt to stage a same-sex wedding at the Pawnee Zoo after the zoo’s penguins appear to form a same-sex pair. The episode uses the controversy to satirize local politics, public opinion, and Leslie’s sometimes overenthusiastic approach to civic projects.

The title refers to the fictional zoo rather than a real Pawnee attraction. The series was filmed primarily around Los Angeles, and zoo scenes were shot at Griffith Park’s former zoo area. The episode is also notable because Chris Pratt, playing Andy Dwyer, became part of the regular opening credits beginning with season two.

A common mix-up is confusing this premiere with later episodes such as “Practice Date,” “Kaboom,” or “The Stakeout.” “Pawnee Zoo” is specifically the first episode of season two, not merely an episode involving a Pawnee public facility.
