The City of Morganton has announced that Catawba Meadows park and an additional section of the Catawba River Greenway will be reopened to the public at noon on Monday, July 21.
Hurricane Helene left significant damage to the park and sections of the greenway, but after months of assessments, cleanup, repair and inspections, the park’s Beanstalk Playground, beach volleyball court, disc golf course, picnic shelters and bathrooms will all be reopened, according to a press release from the city.
The exceptions at Catawba Meadows include the softball and baseball fields as well as Beanstalk Ziplines and its parking lot.
The reopened section of the greenway will be from the entrance at the River Village Access, going toward Catawba Meadows under Highway 181, all the way to the wooden platform overlook approaching the Rocky Ford Access.
