Recently, there has been some discussion about Municipal Parks in Cranbrook, and what they were set aside or created for.
Most parks in Cranbrook were not created for natural habitat preservation. Municipal parks in Cranbrook, including Gyro Park, were created for community recreation uses from the time of their inception.
Gyro Park, and the majority of all other parks in Cranbrook are zoned Community Recreation (P2 Zone) parks. These parks are intended for the use and enjoyment by both residents and visitors. Most all parks in Cranbrook, including Gyro Park, are zoned Community Recreation and have the following intended uses:
(a) Community recreation use (all types of recreation)
(b) Library, archives, museum, and art gallery
(c) Community theatre
(d) Tourist information facility
(e) Cemetery and crematorium
(f) Group day care
(g) Community Meeting Facility
(h) Public and Social Services
