This is a small playground with the Jungle Jim array of climbing apparatus, a climbing dome, swings and a cool tunnel like slide. It's on a pea gravel base with benches for the parents to catch their breath.

Gyro Park is in the centre of the City of Nelson, built on a rock outcrop and affording a fine view of the historic downtown district. It is a mature park with large stands of native trees and shrubs as well as manicured flower beds and grassy expanses. It is interlaced with many walking trails.

There is a large, beautiful gazebo for picnicking, many picnic tables and benches, children's playground, a wading pool, a swimming pool and much flora to admire. This is a popular park for weddings and other functions because of its natural and man made beauty.
