"Owen Park Before and After Helene" is an accordion book of photographic images of Owen Park in Swannanoa, which suffered catastrophic damage during hurricane Helene. Owen was a spacious but modest park featuring ponds and playgrounds adjoining the Swannanoa River. Closed, this is a 7 by 7 inch book. When fully open, the accordion book stretches to 64 inches. It can be displayed fully open or somewhat folded. Four park images are shown on each side of the accordion, one side showing the beauty before Helene, the other showing storm damage. Owen suffered the worst damage of any Buncombe County park. Rebuilding will cost at least $14 million. This was my beloved park. I visited there every week, watching children fishing with their dads, observing ducks, geese, and herons in the ponds, following baseball games and basketball duels, and walking the mile-long circular trail. This is my tribute to a park that will now remain closed for at least five years.
