Forest Drive Gyro Park Grand
Reopening
Get
ready to celebrate the grand re-opening of Forest Drive Gyro Park (2035 Forest Drive). Residents in
the Forest Drive neighbourhood (hospital neighbourhood) have been working hard
since May 2011 under the City of Nanaimo Volunteers in Parks (VIP) Program to
improve their neighbourhood park.
On Sunday, September
23 bring the little ones and come check out the new playground
equipment, bike trail and ball court. There will be fun activities and a free
hot dog BBQ between 11:30am – 1:30pm.
The Parks, Recreation and Culture
Commission awarded a neighbourhood grant to the project at the end of September
2011. The improvements began in the spring of 2012 and are intended to assist
residents in creating a great community green space for all ages to enjoy and
for neighbours to share, play, visit and meet each other. Recently the
Commission has approved the renaming of the park to be Forest Drive Gyro Park in
recognition of the Nanaimo Gyro Clubs contribution to the park
project.
