Find parking near Moore Square

Moore Square is a historic four-acre urban park and plaza in downtown Raleigh, laid out in 1792 as one of the city’s original public squares and now surrounded by City Market, restaurants, galleries, and family-friendly attractions. Its open lawns, shaded seating, and regular community events make it a popular gathering spot for locals and visitors throughout the day and into the evening, which keeps the surrounding streets active and can increase traffic at peak times. Because of this steady activity and the busy nature of downtown Raleigh, planning where to park before you arrive helps you spend more time enjoying the square’s atmosphere and less time circling the block.

The streets around Moore Square typically offer a mix of metered and time-limited spaces, but these fill quickly during weekday business hours, weekends, and special programs in the park, and drivers should always observe posted regulations, time limits, and payment requirements to avoid fines. Securing parking near Moore Square in advance makes it easier to coordinate museum visits, meals, or walks through the historic district without rushing back to move your car. Since parking rules, rates, and availability can change, visitors should always confirm current information with official city and local resources when planning their trip.
