Greene Valley Provincial Park is a provincial park east of the Town of Peace River Alberta in the Northern Sunrise County. It was designated by the Provincial Government a provincial park on June 6, 2000.
It is located in the Heart River valley and encompasses the confluences of the Heart River and its two downstream tributaries. The park stretches just over 26 kilometers from the Town of Peace River southwest towards the Village of Nampa. The Heart River is a major tributary to the Peace River and is a wildlife corridor. The park also provides winter range for moose and mule deer.
The Province of Alberta is currently upgrading the Twelve Foot Davis Park, the Dr. Greene Cairn Site and the Peace River Provincial Recreation Area located within the Greene Valley Provincial Park. The conceptual design can be found at Ministry of Tourism, Parks and Recreation website
