Gyro International is a non-profit social, service, and fraternal club for men located in the United States, Canada and Japan. Gyro was founded by Paul Schwan, Clarence (Gus) Handerson, and Edmund (Ed) Kagy, three college friends, in April 1912 in Cleveland, Ohio.
Then, why are parks called gyro?
The Lookout was named in honour of Gyro’s 1946 President Dr. Lorenzo Giovando who was a prominent local doctor and Member of the Legislative Assembly. In 1995, the Nanaimo Gyro Club, provided $50,000 to build the Gyro Youth Sports Fields at Beban Park.
