About Gordon F. Moore Community Park


Where do we begin! At 704 acres, this massive public park boasts an impressive number of on-site amenities, attractions, and open space to explore. Put simply, Gordon F. Moore Community Park has something for just about anyone, whether you are visiting by yourself or with family or friends—from tennis courts, pickleball courts, sports fields, and a golf course, to a 13-acre fishing lake, a splash pad, and a new inclusive playground …and that is just a portion of what this sprawling park has to offer!

A stroll through Nan Elliot Memorial Rose Garden, a popular staple of the park, is a must during the summer months when more than 1,600 rose bushes in bloom and the chimes of the carillon echo nearby. For a different change of pace, hop on the nature trail found at the park's northern end for some light hiking, or make your way to the Oriental Garden to enjoy some peaceful ambiance by the Koi pond. Whether you are looking for passive recreation opportunities like these or an activity that the whole family can enjoy, Gordon F. Moore Park does not disappoint.
