Green Park Provincial Park

As a non-profit, Swim Guide depends on donations to help millions of people connect to clean water.

Green Park is a tranquil park on the site of historical shipyards, which used to be the driving force of the PEI economy in the 19th century. Visitors can go to the Shipbuilding Museum & Historic Yeo House to learn more about this industry and PEI’s past. Green Park offers campsites right on the river to give the most natural camping experience possible. There are many fun activities at the park, like frisbee golf, nature trails, a playground for kids and amenities such as washrooms, showers, laundry, kitchen stations, and picnic areas. The beach is on Trout River and is unsupervised . Green Park is on the North Cape Coast driving tour and is 6 km east of Tyne Valley.

COVID-19

Keep your distance from other people.

Practicing social distancing is essential right now. Follow the advice of the health experts. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Heading to the beach should only be considered an option if social distancing practices can be followed. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter the efforts to curb the virus’ spread.

Visitors can often find sand dunes at PEI beaches and parks. Dunes are fragile and easily damaged. It can take as few as 10 footsteps through the same area to destroy a marram grass colony. The roots of this protective plant cover act as a net, shaping and containing the sand. Wind blows away at the exposed sand, turning small depressions into giant holes called blowouts. Blowouts turn stable dunes into constantly shifting hills that are unable to support vegetation or wildlife.

Please use the boardwalks and carpeted foot paths at designated beach access points and stay off the dunes to prevent further damage.
