My daughters, my sister and I really enjoyed walking around and through this square on Mother's Day weekend. There was a live stage hula dance lesson going on when we arrived. Live music or radio music played from the speakers throughout the day between live acts. There is a grass center surrounding the stage Where you can lounge or stand. There are also sidewalk trails around and throughout the square. Booths were set up on the outside perimeter along the sidewalk. There were shopping and food truck booths with good items. We made a few purchases. It was also fun to look at the flora and fauna, statues and plaques, and art installations throughout the Square. The square is conveniently located near downtown walkable shopping streets, and we took advantage of that. We parked in a paid lot behind Blake Street. From here it is convenient to walk along Blake Street and cross over to Moore Square. read more

The Christmas tree lighting was quick and straight to the point, so much so that I almost missed it. The tree is beautiful. Going on 6 years residing here and I've never noticed the tree before that night. I felt this even was organized well and started on time. The food trucks were easily accessible if one wanted something. The lines weren't as long as I expected. Al Strong & Friends is always great at events like this and they were on the stage when I arrived for the Raleigh Christmas Tree. read more

Moore Square has come a long way since the city updated the park. There are now multiple seating areas, pathways and shaded areas to relax. There is a small building with bathrooms where you can borrow outdoor play equipment such as Frisbee s. There is eveb a permanent pinpong table set up near the same building. The park also features a water fountain with multiple jets of water that shoot up for those that want to cool off on a hot summer day. The park is also a host of many downtown events such as Hippie Fest and various pop-up markets. read more

I'm usually on the opposite side of town so this was all new to me. Wow! What a super awesome place! So much space to take a walk or just hang out with family and friends. It's also surrounded by some popular eateries and bars. I look forward to stopping by here again in the summer and fall. It was a bit of a trouble to find free parking but lots of paid parking if you're up for that on the weekdays. There's even a burger joint in the center of this park. I look forward to trying that as well. Overall, a very clean park in a developing part of town. read more

I'm back in Raleigh and wandered past Moore Square today. Wow, what a difference! I'm impressed! An update and upgrade is overdue. Completion is due this month (August 2019) but it's just about complete now. A cafe (with public bathrooms!), space for a downtown farmers market, space for food trucks, a splash pad and brand new even and smooth sidewalks. The Parks department has done a great job of upgrading the square to handle the local festivals and concerts. Hopefully that works helps the square avoid the sort of damage that thousands of people will cause. Moore Square is one of four public spaces planned for Raleigh as early as the late 1700s but only Moore and Nash Square remain. The land is owned by the State of North Carolina but is leased to the city. I'm really pleased. Well done, Raleigh Parks Department! [Review 11619 overall, Round number 1400 of 2019.] read more

Moore Square - Lego Movie-May 12, 2023 - Parks Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

The space is well planned out. The renovation was much needed as it is located across the street from Marbles and other popular dinning locations. The space is great, there are monthly activities for visitors to enjoy, foam blocks for kids to play with, a piano to play, lots of seating, a cart full of board games and Square Burger is located inside. The only issue which is a problem in DTR, are the number of transients. The worker at the stand was trying to negotiate with a man who had been in the bathroom over an hour- doing what? I can only guess. There are lots of families and safety needs to be a priority. I hope they can keep the space clean and safe for everyone to enjoy. read more

I have to admit, I don't love the new Moore Square. It feels empty and like it is missing character from the previous version. However, the truth is that it was a really cloudy day when I visited and the park was mostly empty, except for a few homeless folks and people walking their dogs. It feels like some of the old trees are gone. It is definitely more open. read more

Moore Square - Public Piano - Parks Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

We had lunch nearby today and decided to finally check out the changes in Moore Square. The wide paths are lined with tables and chairs, there's a small amphitheater, and we found clean public restrooms behind Square Burger. A large group was taking a yoga class on one of the lawns, people were out for strolls, and it wasn't even 50 degrees out! The next time we're downtown for lunch, we'll get takeout and bring it here to enjoy. read more

I love love love what they've done with the renovation. Such a great treasure of downtown Raleigh. The grass is so green. I love the community table/seating areas. They're now hosting events regularly at the park, too. Check out their website to see what events are coming up. Be sure to stop by the visitor center while you're there! They have tons of info and also a cute little gift shop for Raleigh visitors. Square Burger seems to be a hit so far! I haven't been yet but I'm excited to check it out. read more

Just visited the New Moore Square. They did a great job with the renovation. However, it loses a star due to the bathroom. There were only two stalls, so a line forms quickly. The sinks didn't want to turn on and there are no trash cans in the women's stall, thus all sanitary products have to be carried out and disposed in the main part. Not really feeling long that. read more

I am just so sad to see the concrete is taking over all the natural areas and the beautiful trees. I'm just a visitor in Raleigh, but this park used to be gorgeous and now it's just meant for more commercial development and commercial blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. When is it going to end? read more
