Neighbourhood: Moore Park

Moore Park is the name of the neighbourhood surrounding the terminus of St. Clair Avenue at Mt. Pleasant Road just south of the grand Mt. Pleasant Cemetery.

The neighbourhood is characterized by the Vale of Avoca section of Rosedale ravine to the west and Moore Park ravine to the east. Developer John Thomas Moore built the original wooden bridge extending over the latter ravine, and a steel bridge as part of St. Clair Avenue extending over the Vale of Avoca.
