Moore Square in Raleigh re-opened last summer and is hosting a full slate of free events.
The 4-acre Moore Square is bounded by E. Hargett Street to the north, East Martin Street to the south, S. Blount Street to the west, and S. Person Street to the east.
It’s across Hargett Street from Marbles Kids Museum, so it will be a great way to extend the fun when you bring the kids to the museum.
The park will include a tree house-themed play area, a water play component, and several gathering and performing spaces.

This Tuesday was a Teacher Work Day so I took my grandson downtown to enjoy the Moore Square games. While he enjoyed the chess and connect 4, we were disappointed that not all the games advertised were there. It was a cool day so not many children were there but he got bored with the ones we had to play. Great idea for days when there is no school for something free to do.
