The Greenwich Interpretation Centre has 20 exhibits to teach visitors more about the history of the park. Campsites are available at the park, along with beach facilities including washrooms, showers, picnic tables and a lookout tower. Greenwich is eco-friendly, all of the beach facilities are powered by wind or solar energy.
