Green Park, Pennsylvania

An 1877 map of Green Park

Green Park, an unincorporated village located in northeastern Tyrone Township, Perry County, Pennsylvania, United States, sits at the intersection of state routes 233 (Green Park Road) and 274 (Shermans Valley Road). The name was given to a local land tract by James Baxter in the late 1700s and made popular as an unofficial moniker for mid- to late-1800s picnic and camp meeting grounds (called Stambaugh's Woods, which lasted until 1896) located at the upper end of Stambaugh Farm Run. The town serves as Perry County's midpoint between the Conococheague Mountain in the west and the Susquehanna River to the east.

Given its central location, connection to a once-thriving wheelwright industry, historic one-room schoolhouse, and the West Perry (formerly Green Park Union) School District main campus, Green Park is unofficially nicknamed Perry County's "Hub of Education."[citation needed]
