Background

Historic Moor Park has always been a part of Mooresville’s baseball history. Opening in 1936, it was home to the Mooresville Moor’s which was a tribute to the Moor brand towels woven at the mill across the street from the park. The mill has evolved into a commercial center that anchors business at the southern end of Mooresville’s downtown core. The mill has evolved into a commercial center that anchors business at the southern end of Mooresville’s downtown core.

The park is currently undergoing a multimillion-dollar renovation to include an entirely updated grass playing field, new concessions and restroom buildings, and a smaller version of the Green Monster wall at Boston’s Fenway Park.
