🚫 EXTENDED Closure Notice: Gyro Park 🐻
For your safety and the well-being of our furry neighbours, the City of Nelson is extending the closure of Gyro Park due to increased bear activity.
There are now 7 black bears regularly visiting the park.
We are working with WildsafeBC and Conservation Officers to mitigate any risks to the public.
Please avoid entering the park for the time being. These bears are simply going about their natural behaviour, and we need to give them space and respect their habitat. With snow on the horizon, they should be heading to the dens in the next few weeks.
Note: With Halloween next week, please keep in mind that pumpkins and sweets are attractants. 🎃
Ensure you are bringing in your Halloween pumpkins in the early evening every night. 🎃

Let's ensure both our community and our bear neighbours can co-exist harmoniously. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
