Moore Square Park

The Moore Square Art District mirrors much of Raleigh’s evolution as a  community and a city of the South. At the heart of the area is the green space of Moore Square. One of two surviving four-acre parks from Raleigh’s original 1792 plan, the wooded square was originally surrounded by a residential neighborhood.
