Moore Park

Kippax Lake at Moore Park

In 1866 the western part of the Second Sydney Common was transferred to Sydney City Council, which set aside the land for public recreation.

Between 1867 to 1869 the park was laid out and planted with grass and trees. The Park is named after Charles Moore, Mayor of Sydney during this period.

Moore Park was once the site of Sydney’s first zoo and included a bear pit and elephant house. Sydney Girls’ High School (1920) and Sydney Boys’ High School (1928) and are now on this site.

Moore Park was also the place where the first polo match in Australia was played.

Today, Moore Park provides 115 hectares of leisure choices. It has tennis and netball courts, the ES Marks Athletics Field, and an 18-hole Group One public golf course and driving range. It is also used as a venue for circuses and other outdoor events.

The Moore Park precinct includes the following properties on lease from, or managed by the Centennial Park and Moore Park Trust:

The adjoining Sydney Football Stadium and Sydney Cricket Ground are managed by the Sydney Cricket & Sports Ground Trust.
