The Park also offers 20 campsites, 18 reserve-able picnic sites, and two camping/picnic mixed sites. Glen Eden Ski & Snowboard Centre is located in the park and offers downhill skiing, snowboarding and tubing during the winter months. In addition, the Halton Region Museum is also located on the Kelso grounds. The park also features marked mountain biking and hiking trails.

Lake Kelso also provides a natural, economical and convenient source of very cold water for snow-making for the Glen Eden Ski & Snowboard Centre; negating the need to use water from Halton's main line utility service.
