The two RV Gypsies
at Shipyards Park (a very historical site)
Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada
June 25, 2016

Shipyards Park is connected to Rotary Peace Park, 1.5 km to the south, by a scenic footpath along the Yukon River and by the Whitehorse Waterfront Trolley which runs daily during the summer.

sign at Shipyards Park

Shipyards Park is located at 2nd Avenue and Ray Street in Whitehorse, and was designed to be enjoyed year round (but year round will not be by the two RV Gypsies). It offers a large open space for festivals and community events, an outdoor amphitheater, a toboggan hill and a skating loop. There is a lot of Yukon history to be learned via signs in this park.

Compadres Burritos Restaurant

For the last few years, Compadres Burritos has been run out of the Shipyards Park kitchen - it used to be in a wagon. This is the best burrito in town - filling, healthy, tasty, variety - it has it all going on! The two RV Gypsies stopped at this restaurant because of the fantastic smell coming out of the restaurant, and they had a burrito here and were pleasantly surprised by how fresh and satisfying it was to eat. However, this restaurant does not run year-round, only from May to September.
