Gyro Park is an enchantin getaway right in the center of town . It has a spectacular viewpoint from the rocky outcrop offering birds eye view of Nelson‘s heritage downtown and waterfront.
Gyro Park is a very picturesque park especially in the summer because of the playground and summer time wading pool for the small ones. Beautifully landscaped which makes this place ideal for wedding ceremonies and group photos .
