Port Williams Park
The Port Williams Park is located on Highway
358, across from Centennial Drive. The park
was established in 2010 and was a community
effort with the goal being a safe and friendly
place for kids of all ages to gather and play. In
addition to having plenty of parking, the park
includes, an amazing play structure for children
2-12 years. There are five awesome slides,
climbers and stepping-stones. The equipment
is rounded out with swings (for babies as well),
some stationary pieces and most recently, a
tire-swing that was donated by a local resident.
There is a hard-surface court that is used for
basketball and ball hockey (a local resident
donated hockey nets). As their 40th anniversary project the Port
Williams & District Lions Club donated a
sun shelter built by local business, Wise Owl
Joinery. The walking trail features trees and
benches donated by residents. The Park is also
home to StoryWalk – an interactive initiative
that combines the benefits of physical activity,

includes features like bridges, a rock garden,

are required at all times for this course.
