Moor Park Baseball Field, Renovations

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 Mooreville’s downtown core.

The baseball field is now home to the Spinners, which are part of the Southern College Baseball League. The field and facilities are being re-envisioned as part of an urban core that will serve as a gateway into downtown. Working with Fitfields and Adams + Associates, a new vision has been cast to create a fan experience that is unique to Mooresville and its’ baseball history. Grand stands have been designed to reflect the architecture of the original field and will be flanked by a variety of seating areas for all ages that will include a high-top table biergarten, Adirondack chair sandbar seating adjacent to a hillside play kids zone, and box style seating adjacent to 1st and 3rd base dugouts for corporate events. This modern facility will provide state-of-the-art locker rooms and field upgrades to allow for Collegiate and wooden bat league level play.

The stormwater management facilities for the park have also been designed to use the synthetic turf warning track and it’s drainage profile to help meet stormwater detention requirements for the project beneath the field.
