Tucked away in Swannanoa, there’s a sweet little area called Grovemont. It’s home to Grovemont Park and Fox Creek Park, two community-owned green spaces. They are maintained by the Swannanoa Community Council, a completely volunteer body. If you’ve ever been to the Swannanoa Library, you’ve been to Grovemont!

Grovemont Park
In addition to the Swannanoa Library, Grovemont Park has a playground, outdoor exercise equipment, rubber track, field, basketball court, pavilion, and picnic tables. During the summer, you have to check out Groovin’ on Grovemont, a free admission concert series with musical guests, food trucks, and great fun for all ages.
The series is sponsored by local businesses and community members, with proceeds benefiting the Swannanoa Community Council and Friends and Neighbors of Swannanoa (FANS). In 2026, the concerts will be held on July 14, July 18, and August 11 at 6 PM!
Fox Creek Park
In addition to Grovemont Park, the Swannanoa Community Council also maintains Fox Creek Park, a “walking path, wildlife habitat and educational resource for our community on the former site of Lake June in Grovemont.” Check out the website linked for video tours, ways to volunteer, and more information about habitat restoration.
Support the Work of the Swannanoa Community Council
Maintaining these grounds for the community’s benefit takes time and resources. Consider making a one-time or recurring donation here. During the 2026 season, Runda in WNC is one of the sponsors of Groovin’ on Grovemont. I’m so excited to support community-minded work and hope you will join me!
