The Confederation Landing Park is the centrepiece of a large-scale restoration of the Charlottetown waterfront. Where this park stands now, twenty years ago there were only rusting oil drums.



Confederation Landing Park takes its name from the fact that it is here where the delegates to the Charlottetown Conference of 1864--the conference where delegates from across British North America set the process of Canadian unification in progress--disembarked.



Here, looking north past the Peakes Wharf complex of shops the undistinguished dozen stories of the Delta Prince Edward are visible. (Great George Street, which leads to Province House, would start just to the right.)
