Green Park Provincial Park lies on the shore of Malpeque Bay near Port Hill in western Prince Edward Island, along Route 12 (confirm distances). It occupies the site of a nineteenth century shipyard, and the main attraction is history: the Green Park Shipbuilding Museum, which explains how wooden ships were designed and launched in western PEI, and Yeo House, the restored Victorian home built in the 1860s for the shipbuilder James Yeo and his family (confirm date and name). The park also has a campground in the trees, a beach and picnic area on the bay, short walking trails and a playground. In summer costumed guides lead house tours and children try craft activities. The surrounding countryside of red soil, potato fields and oyster beds is among the quietest parts of the Island. The museum and house are open in season, and admission is charged (confirm). Allow half a day, longer if you camp.
