Walk the Oaken Transformation Trail

The Oaken Transformation Sculpture and Poetry Walk is free an open to the public Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. No reservations are required.

Oaken Transformations is a sculpture and poetry walk that takes visitors through a wooden trail and across an open meadow while enjoying pieces of art nestled into layers of natural landscape.

Started in 2010 by Dr. Fred Bonine and his daughter Anya Cobler, Oaken Transformations is Bonine's "gift to the community."

"We're right off of Grand River, super busy road, you can hear the cars going back and forth, but you come out here and it's easy to think you are in the middle of nowhere-- to forget about life for a little bit," said Anya Cobler, Director of Oaken Transformations Sculpture and Poetry Walk.

The Oaken Transformation Sculpture and Poetry Walk is free an open to the public Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. No reservations are required. 

Weekend events are also planned with the next event coming up November 11, an individual artist exhibit featuring Tad McKillop, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. The event is also free and open to the public.
