Moore Park, Administrative division in Eastern Sydney, Australia
Moore Park forms a substantial urban area within Sydney, containing sports facilities, entertainment venues, and green spaces spanning 153 hectares near the central business district.
The land was designated as Sydney Common in 1866 and received its current name in 1867 to honor Charles Moore, the Mayor of Sydney City Council.
The precinct includes the Sydney Cricket Ground and Sydney Football Stadium, which host major sporting events throughout the year for thousands of spectators.
The area connects to Sydney's transportation network through multiple bus routes, light rail services that began operation in 2019, and major arterial roads.
Moore Park maintained the first zoological gardens in Sydney from 1884 until 1916, when space limitations prompted the relocation to the current Taronga Zoo site.
