Grovemont Park is a historic community space in Swannanoa, NC
Located in the heart of the Grovemont Community, the park, playground, walking track, exercise stations, and building which currently houses the Swannanoa Library is owned and maintained by the Swannanoa Community Council, an all volunteer-lead 501c3 who’s mission includes serving the residents of the Swannanoa Valley through community building events and provision of outdoor recreation, education, and play spaces.
The heart of Grovemont
In 1924, developer E.W. Grove had his hands full with two major projects — the construction of the Battery Park Hotel, which was completed that September, and the far more ambitious undertaking of Grovemont-on-Swannanoa, billed as America’s first planned community.
