Gordon Moore Park is an excellent place for anyone to visit. It is beautiful and very well maintained. It has a golf course, a baseball diamond, tennis courts, several soccer fields and a football field. There is a beautiful rose garden, a gazebo at the pond with little bridges and babbling brooks. For the children, there are at least 5 playgrounds. The newest one is perfect for people with young children, as it has a soft ground covering, lessening the chance of injuries. If youre into walking, there are several beautiful walking paths with benches placed for a short rest. There is also fishing allowed, although I dont know much about the rules for that, as Ive never done it. This park is an all around perfect park for this community. I highly recommend a visit there.

This place is extremely clean. They take care of the park very well. There isnt enough parking for all of the people coming to watch soccer games... but everything else is exceptional. They also have soap in the bathrooms! Thats always a plus at a park!!

This park is by far the cleanest, safest, an fun park in the Alton area. There is a total of 4 different play grounds 2 are for babies an toddlers, an then the 2 others are for big kids which i love because i dont have to worry about my daughter getting trampled over or accidentally hurt by a bigger child.

We went to a wedding in the Rose Garden. Although it was a little warm, it was a wonderful wedding. The best part was smelling all of the wonderful roses. It was very romantic. It was a wonderful place for an outside wedding.

I fished at Gordon f more park for many years and it has much good fishing, but back in 2003 my most worse experience was when I went across the dam and sat where most catfishermen do I got tons of ticks all over me and I didnt even feel them crawling up my legs I mean I had them put their legs deep in my skin and I must of pulled and burned off about 15 off me, I was lucky to not get lime tick illnesses, I hope they spray for them now on a consistent basis and I am here to tell you people that it is a very good place to fish among other things but that day just freaked me out. I will how ever go back and give it another chance. Good blue Gill population and catfish are there and the bass are in the lake but hard to catch. Pass my bad day most days there are cool.

This park is beautiful! I come here often to walk in the mornings. The bridge has definitely went down hill this past winter. I feel as though it is extremely unsafe, and needs to either be repaired or shut down before someone gets hurt.
