Moore Park

Moore Park is a substantial urban area in eastern Sydney containing sports facilities, entertainment venues, and green spaces. The area spans across terrain near the central business district with multiple locations to explore and visit.

The land was established as Sydney Common in 1866 and renamed in 1867 to honor Charles Moore, who was Mayor of Sydney at the time. The area gradually developed into a hub for different uses that expanded over the decades.

The area draws people together for sporting events and entertainment that happen throughout the year at major venues. Visitors gather here to share experiences and watch competitions, giving the space a social and lively purpose.

The area connects to Sydney's transportation network through multiple bus routes, light rail services, and major roads. Visitors can move around using different transport options to reach various locations within the area.

The location housed Sydney's first zoo from 1884 to 1916 before the space was needed for larger animal gardens. This early role in animal exhibitions shows how the land's purpose changed over time.
