Ottawa Hills offers two distinct points of interest for a fall stay: an outdoor sculpture exhibition and recreation programs with clearly defined time frames and target groups. For the art venue, location is key; for the programs, dates, age groups, and registration status are the main considerations.
Outdoor Art
The Sculpture in the Park exhibition is located outdoors in the triangular park at the intersection of Indian Road, Bancroft Street, and Secor Road, at the entrance to Ottawa Hills. This gives you a specific location to plan around; before visiting, check whether the exhibition is still being held in this form.
Fall 2026: Recreation by Date and Target Group
The Soccer House League was a recreational soccer event for young people from Ottawa Hills. The 2026 season was scheduled for grades 2 through 6 from September 13 to October 18 and included six weeks of games; registration was closed.
The OHES Run Club introduced running as a fun activity to promote a healthy and active lifestyle. The program for grades 4 through 6 was scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays from September 1 to October 8, 2026; registration was closed. Participants were expected to run up to one mile during workouts and meetups.
The Green Bear Baking Club was a hands-on baking class for children in grades 2 through 4. Amazing Athletes Pickleball was also scheduled at the OHES New Gym from September 9 to October 14, 2026; the baking class ran during the same period, except on September 23. Registration for the baking class was closed, and the pickleball program was full. Children learned to bake from scratch, measure ingredients, and discover the science of baking. This combines a practical kitchen activity with a scientific perspective.
Yoga “Fall 1” was intended for a different target group: the nine-week session was for people aged 18 and older, was scheduled from September 1 to October 27, 2026, and had already begun. Ann Heckler led it at the Kadens Family Fitness Center; capacity was six to 15 people. The program included stretching, strengthening, deep breathing, and relaxation. At nine weeks, this session was scheduled to run longer than the six-week Soccer House League, even though the programs were for different age groups.
The Soccer House League, OHES Run Club, and Yoga “Fall 1” overlapped from September 13 to October 8, 2026. The Soccer House League was scheduled to run through October 18, yoga through October 27, and the run club through October 8. Their target groups also differed: the league was for grades 2 through 6, the run club for grades 4 through 6, and yoga for adults aged 18 and older.
