A beloved Mooresville ballpark with roots dating back to 1939 is about to undergo a major transformation. Town leaders are betting the renovations will revitalize the area, bringing new life and visitors to the southern side of town.

Moor Park, once home to the minor league Mooresville Moors until 1953 and a youth baseball staple since the 1990s, will soon get a multi-phase facelift. The first phase will focus on overhauling the ballfield itself, while the second phase will bring pedestrian-friendly streetscaping, new sidewalks, and improved roads.
