Friends of Moore Square: Transforming a Historic Gathering Place into a Future Community Hub
Since 1792, Moore Square has been a place of gathering, reflection, entertainment, and recreation for the citizens of Raleigh. The four-acre downtown urban green space was originally conceived as one of five public green spaces for the City of Raleigh. Throughout its long history it has been a community gathering place, for purposes of religion, education, poltical expression and protest, commerce, and recreation.
Recently rennovated by the City of Raleigh, Moore Square now has added amenities like food and beverage options, restrooms, a children's play area, and a splash pad. However, the full potential of Moore Square has yet to be explored, and many local residents and neighborhood businesses are joining together to fund important park improvements and community programming.
You can play a crucial role in this vibrant communtiy hub by joining with the Friends of Moore Square to help fund improvements like a parkwide outdoor sound system and public art displays and to help fund programming like the busker series, community festivals, and special holiday programs by making a donation today!
Over 85% of the funds raised will directly support the costs of these enhancements, with the remainder covering administrative and fundraising expenses. Join us in preserving the historic legacy of Moore Square park while enriching the community’s experience. Your support is essential, and together, we can make a significant impact.
