Build your own boat, be it canoe, kayak, paddleboard. Build a skateboard even. Classes are essentially a series of one-on-one tutorials. They show you how to build one ‘corner’ of the boat. You do the second ‘corner’ under their watchful eye. Then you complete the remaining ‘corners’ on your own. You will be guided right through to the last step of building your boat including varnishing or painting.The focus is on making and repairing wood based gear for self-propelled recreation on land and water.

The park includes baseball diamonds, park pavilion, and flower gardens. Tradition and character have been preserved in the old dug out and concession stand. Glen Williams Park is the perfect place to have a picnic, organize a friendly game of baseball or listen to the tranquil sounds of Credit River flow by.
A riverside parkette in the Glen at the corner of Main & Confederation Streets, named after a local volunteer and Glen Williams Citizen of the Year for 1992, Shelagh Law. A fine place to take kids to splash around in the waters of the Credit River on a hot summer afternoon.
A portion of the Bruce Trail, the hiking trail that runs along the Niagara Escarpment from Niagara to Tobermory runs just north of Glen Williams through the Scotsdale Farm, Silver Creek Conservation Area and on to the Terra Cotta Conservation Area. A side branch, the Credit Valley Footpath, extends into and through the Glen. In full, this footpath stretches from the Bruce Trail at the Terra Cotta Conservation Area southeast to the base of the 10th Line and on east just past the ruin of the Barber Dynamo to the east of Glen Williams.
