Bolingbrook Art Trail

Bolingbrook Park District and the Village of Bolingbrook’s Art Council are partnering together to create an art trail along the Knights of Columbus trail. The long-term vision is to enhance the current path with public art throughout the path. The first phase is to install numerous Noblewins benches along the trail. Noblewins benches are repurposed from retired wind turbines blades, composite lumber, and aluminum. The circular design provides shade to those sitting on the bench. Bolingbrook Park District feels this is one way we can repurpose a virtually indestructible waste stream for public use. Each bench will feature artwork created by artists representing the various sponsoring organizations or businesses in town.

“The Bolingbrook Park District recently completed trail and playground improvements and planted 40 trees at Knights of Columbus Park. Adding to these enhancements is this durable, functional bench made from a retired wind turbine blade, creating a unique interactive space for public art and shaded seating. Through collaboration with the Village of Bolingbrook’s Art Council, this innovative Win-Win-Wind addition is the first step toward creating a special destination celebrating nature, sustainability, and public art in Bolingbrook,” stated Mike Selep, Executive Director.

If local organizations, companies, or individuals would like to be a part of the Bolingbrook Art Trail, please reach out to Mike Selep, Executive Director.

The Art Trail is located on the Knights of Columbus Trail next to Knights of Columbus Park, 190 Northridge Avenue, Bolingbrook, IL. 

The Knights of Columbus bench located on the Bolingbrook Arts Trail at Knights of Columbus Park was dedicated on Saturday, November 14, 2026 as the kick-off bench for this unique project. The bench was painted by artists Vasiliki Valkanas Sposito out of Addison, Il. Ms. Sposito’s design was selected from numerous artists entries. The piece is designed to showcase the history, community events, and outreach the Knights of Columbus are known for. The gold was selected to represent the “Knight Gold” from the Knights of Columbus logo.

“This Noblewins Park Bench project reflects the strength of partnership in Bolingbrook, and the Knights of Columbus Councils 6521 and 11092 are honored to have worked alongside the Bolingbrook Arts Council, and the Bolingbrook Park District, to make it a reality. We deeply appreciate the collective effort behind this first Noblewins Park Bench. Through her thoughtful storytelling, artist Vasiliki Sposoti has created a piece that reflects who the Knights are and what we strive to be in our community,” stated Ron Dzik, Grand Knight, Knights of Columbus Council 6521
