Lots of energy and a lively atmosphere. The area was clean and well manicured.

This is a shiny new community space, which is good to look at but not so awesome on a hot summer day. The main recreational and lounging space is in the open...and it gets blisteringly hot. As a result, you can sit in the sun and state longingly at the beautiful shady spots under the trees. Did I mention you are not supposed to go there? The best spaces for warm-weather relaxation are cordoned off. It is a perfect spot for an event because of the wide open, grass covered area. I can imagine concerts, festivals, and all sorts of community mayhem, but those looking to relax in a nice shady spot may want to go to Nash Square instead.

This small park is in the heart of the city, right next to Marbles Kids Museum and has lot going on throughout the day - be it families relaxing, kids having fun with skateboarding and sometimes even some musical performances at the mini amphitheatre. It has a good burger place at the center and a good place to hangout next to hustle and bustle of the city! On rare occasions, you may also find a flea market

It is a beautiful airy place. it is much nicer than it was before. I went with the intentions of just grabbing a bite to eat. I ended up staying nearly five hours.

Eh it was better before they took down the oak trees in the middle so they could scare aware the homeless dudes and have a space for bougie people to play frisbee.

Moore Square lost its character and charm after the remodel. Now its just an ordinary town square. Still a nice meeting space....

The remodel of Moore Square is great. Love the open fields, the clean pathways, the landscaping. Especially appreciate the attention to detail and keeping the old historical oak tree is intact. The new square burger shop on the south and is a nice touch. The architecture of the building is pleasing. The remodel of Moore Square is great.

Excited to see how this will continue to shape downtown’s community in the years to come.

They really cleaned this area out nicely. The bus station is clean & a bit safer, the park is huge & beautiful, & they built a nice little burger joint convenient to anyone in that area. I had a great time there with my family & we for sure will return.

Enjoyed coming out to the park for their grand reopening! The new green spaces are nice, and theres a fun splash pad area for the kids Also got to try square burger and they were pretty tasty. Will definitely be back with the family. Glad that Raleigh invested in making our green spaces better!

Beautiful place! I enjoy the variety of activities this place can hold and the views of the city. This place is great for kids, families, and large groups. I wish there was more shaded areas.

Small, simple square with a lawn big enough to play Frisbee, etc. in the center. All the best bars are around the perimeter.

Its a laid bacc park good ppl and eviorment

Beautiful open space. Inviting. Wifi.

Moore Square is a wonderful small community. It is always so positive. Marbles kids museum has fun things for small children to do and visits will be playing there quite often. Every once in a while on Sunday they will play a movie sponsored by the IMAX theatre. Pianos provide musical fun. Square Burger is a cute little restaurant for a quick meal. Superb milkshakes. Behind Square Burger is an innovative playground for kids.

Decent place to go; paid parking all around. Many places were closed due to COVID-19 and some obviously going out of business.

Spending time after I got some beers from Burial. I hit the park and got some Square from their food truck. Tables and nooks to sit was perfect al fresco dining in the 80s outside

The park has been revitalized!! Beautifully done. :)

First time going to 1st night with the family and it was a lot of fun. Tons of activities for all members of the family regardless of age. If you havent been, 2021 would be a great way to start your new year here

The Bus Drivers are very helpful when I am getting on the bus and off Im in a wheelchair with one leg. They make sure that I am locked in. Keep up the good work. go Raleigh Busses Thank youll so much. be Blessed always.

Very pretty scenery with plenty of things to do.

This is a great place to come and experience Raleigh community. Greenspace right in the heart of downtown. Safe, peaceful, relaxing. Kids having a blast playing outside in the fresh air. Definitely check it out!

What a gorgeous space downtown! Lots of benches, grass, a burger and shake place with lots of seating. We went for an event but would definitely return just to hang out. Kids can run and play while youre relaxing. Park was clean and well kept.

Im from Raleigh born and raised, this area was in a place where it had became a ghost town. Abandoned warehouses and such, not much activity. Now its completely different and it gives the city a new feel of endless opportunities for small businesses and a variety of entertainment options. The park is absolutely beautiful. Come have a seat and enjoy the cool breeze from the cities oldest Oak trees!!

Fantastic centerpiece of a fabulous downtown.

This place is really nice now. Right in the middle of downtown. There is a burger place, nice grass and sidewalks plus a neon fountain.

Very nice place to be outside and always a good number of people playing soccer or frisbee, parents with their children, etc... Just a good place with good energy!

Relaxing at night. We love walking around the park.

This park was recently renovated. Its a great space in the city.

Moore Square is definitely growing right along with the rest of downtown Raleigh. Roots Festival was fun and informative. Everyone in the park seemed genuinely nice for a change. Hopefully they add a historical monument or two within the park. Oh, and Roxi loved it too!

This is a great addition to the area. It’s a well use of the space and a nice way to bring the community together. It would be nice if they add more bicycle racks. Other than that, it’s a great place to walk around or just lay down in the grass, and I hope that Raleigh creates more of this.

The moore square area is a very nice and clean area. if we are talking about the park with square burger, it’s very clean and community friendly. if we are talking about the middle school, on the other hand, based on what i saw, staff seem friendly and it’s very clean! for sure a 5 star!

This new park is very cool to have. Before it was wasted space and now it has brought so many cool social events to the community and it also allows for people to workout in the grass/ other activities. It def helps the community out and love that its downtown! Only thing I would say is that the parking is difficult to find if you dont want to pay for parking.

I love just relaxing in this park Lots of space and nice land

Having been here in Raleigh over 20 years i have mixed feelings about the new Moore Square. Its a clean space but I miss all the old trees. Too open, like a big bald space in downtown.

Clean and wide open. Next time Ill checkout Square Burger.

I love it..

Beautiful open park in the heart of downtown Raleigh. Great place!

I love the new Moore Square. My young son and I usually come to events here at least once a week, often combined with a trip to Marbles or the farmers market or the night market. Really nice place. I love warm evenings with lots of people just relaxing and having fun here.

It is just me, or was the $13 million price tag and 2-year construction effort excessive given the final result? It seems to me that very little has changed other than the construction of a small burger kiosk (really?), removal of several trees, and a few benches.The N&O had a flowery article by an architect describing all kinds of altruistic philosophy about how the square symbolizes unity and so forth but I call B.S. In my opinion this is was a lost opportunity to create something truly remarkable in DTR, but we wound up with pretty much the same lawn and pathways as we had before the project.

Being a vendor there is a good chance at making a buck

Nice urban park atmosphere.

Great park but its more fun when the Burger spot is open

Great vendors, good variety, courteous and friendly people

They did a good job redoing the park. Clean and nice open spaces. Only issue, all of the areas in the middle of the park are not shaded so get a bit hot.

The park renovation is wonderful! It was great watching my grandchildren enjoy the water feature in the park at the grand opening. The food at the cafe was good too. Great job everyone on such a nice updated addition to the downtown area.

This place is in the process of becoming a good place to go. Once the water and fun come I would say once the entertainment comes that it will be better. Please check it the farmers market in Wednesday at 4pm-7pm.Cool spot though!

Raleigh did a fantastic job renovating this space. The price tag seems a bit steep. Though, the outcome is beautiful. Ate lunch at Square burger. Burgers were good, fries could use a little help.

They got rid of all the trees (I just visited for the first time in a few years - last visit was early 2016), but its still crawling with degenerates. The city needs to move the bus station at least 10 blocks east (or more). Its still obviously a problem, the quality of the square due to the stations proximity... Moore Squares only redeeming quality is its proximity to the rest of downtown (which is clean, safe, free of panhandlers, and always a pleasure to visit).

Today was the grand opening after the parks complete renovation. Awesome!! Movies in the park on Sundays for free. Lots of events during the week. Farmers market Wednesdays from 4 to 7June through October. Oh yeah... the park layout is on the shape of an acorn. Clever! But the old acorn statue is gone. :-( Still, Im really impressed with the new park and especially the programming.

Wonderful park.

What a lovely park in the center of town. Raleigh is a great area for walking in the heart of town and this park is across the street from Marbles Museum a hands on place for kids to explore.

Had the first date with my boyfriend here. Was really fun to play corn hole and frisbee. Ate at the Square Burger and played Jenga.

We were walking around Raleigh for something to do and saw a lot of tents and things going on over in this little park like setting so we went over to see what was going on and they were having a vegan and animal rights outing of some sort through out the whole park, it was different and interesting so we walked around there and sat on the benches for awhile and watched the squirrels swing from tree to tree and lots of people walking their dogs too a lot different than Ohio. Comfort and peaceful area to just sit and watch people. At the vegan thing there was food but not sure about alway having food.

Nice park

A great open space addition to downtown Raleigh. A nice place for a picnic or just hang out. A nice quiet Oasis in the heart of downtown.

Great place to walk around and relax. They had a few pianos out there for people to play which was a nice touch.

Great park but to many homeless

Very nice.

Why is no one questioning the fact that they built a privately owned restaurant in public land? That space could have been used for much needed trees, a small stage for the enjoyment of music (free of charge to the public) or something else that would educate or inspire visitors. Instead they put a restaurant. Really???? Walk ten steps in any direction and one finds a plethora of places to eat in downtown Raleigh. I am disappointed and feel cheated. I feel that my tax dollars could have done better...there was so much hype about this park and I kind of want my trees back.

Clean and new. Nice place to relax and get a very decent burger

Beautiful worship service in this new park.

Love so much about this, especially the water fountains and the stage and the space and the veggie burgers at Square Burger . Beer and wine allowed everywhere in the park, nice touch. Cant wait to see how it holds up, what events they bring, etc. Go Raleigh.

Renovated Moore square is great! They just need to reopen the water feature. Also recommend checking out the playground up close.

They recently completely renovated this park and while it was a much-needed upgrade the results are decidedly mixed. The playground is too small, lack of shade throughout and the much touted water feature is a bust, closing after one day because the geniuses that designed it didnt take into consideration the surface turned very slippery when wet (water feature=wet surface...duh). But the most egregious thing is the lack of visible public art. This is billed as the Moore Square Art District. Wheres the art? Im hopeful further improvement is coming but cant help but feel a big MEH over the whole project at this point and does not bode well for Dix Park planning and implementation.

The new design is fantastic. A destination park with lots of choices and amenities for every taste and style. Thank you Raleigh forDoing it right .

The renovations to the park are very nice. They added covered tables and seating, fountains, and cement walkways. Its very beautiful.

So nice to see the updated park. Excited there is a restaurant there!

Moore square looks great but as long as it was under construction I expected a little more. Still a great place to go wit and have lunch or go for a walk.

I got surprised in a nice way when I saw how beautiful is Moore Square now after remodeled, is so clean and a great atmosphere with art and music. good job!

Beautiful renovation!! Love the improvements being made in downtown Raleigh.

Very pretty park right next to Marbles. Fun food options at the farmers market.

Cute! Clean. Loved seeing the pianos.

First time at Moore Square Park and had the best Vegan Burger at Square Burger! Will definitely go again!

Like the redesigned park. Comfortable for kids and adults.

Nice park

Really nice renovation to Moore Square. Its now more of a park-like atmosphere with great views of the downtown scene. The free wifi access allowed me to use my iPad while sitting on the bench and relaxing.

Nice place, small enough but nice for sitting down with a book and chilling out or just wandering around,

There is always something to see

Nice park, free wifi!

Nice Park

Moore Square Park is amazing, especially since it used to be a shady place everyone walked around. It has a burger/cafe place, splash pad, grassy areas for playing and sports, a lot of seating, free wifi, free art/craft projects, free workouts, summer movies in the park, music festival, busking from 11-2 MWF, bathrooms, and more. I just love seeing everybody happy and carefree.

Beautiful location

The new renovations are amazing! Great open space in the middle of down town.

I love downtown raleigh so much to do.... something for every taste!!

Community events and a great addition to the area.

First time Ive been to the new Moore Square! Love the atmosphere...and plenty of Pokemon Go action!

Psyched about the renovation. Looks great, nice spot to let kids run, play games, picnic, or just wander through.

The renovation has made this place look better cant wait to come by.

Very nice, we were full from lunch elsewhere but will try a burger next time were there; I hear they are outstanding!

Pretty cool open area with fun activities, they onow how to get people engaged. The people just have to be willng to be entertained.

Very lively.pleasant atmosphere .open to the public.I will visit again.

Newly renovated park, original place I proposed to my now wife.

Raleigh has done something right. And try Bold Bagels or any of the vendors set up in the park.

Fun place to be for New Years celebrations.

Lots of free activities and events here. Lovely little park.

Love this park..tables..umbrellas..small water park for kids...music..restrooms..restaurant..games books and assorted activities for use free..whats not to love..

I Love the new Park. Great place for fitness & relaxation.

Tap show at lawn party wad so awesome!

Great atmosphere everytime I visit

I went to see the acorn.Sadly it was not there. The park was surrounded in construction walls, and I got to see absolutely nothing. I eventually went back to Raleigh and found the acorn at its temporary location.
