Background: More than two years of input from residents helped the City develop the long-term Bloomington Forward investment plan to support three major community projects for better health, wellness, athletics and recreation.

In November 2023, via citywide referendum, Bloomington voters approved a half-percent local option sales tax to finance $155 million in bonds to pay for the projects. This includes the Nine Mile Creek Corridor Renewal project which prioritizes, sustainability and desirable amenities to ensure continued connection of resident to nature and outdoor activities.

Background: The 2021 Park System Master Plan assessed existing park infrastructure, and established needs and priorities based on extensive stakeholder and community engagement and input.

A community-driven planning process will develop a new vision for Moir/Central Park, with design principles reflecting the Park System Master Plan’s priorities of natural resources, park facility needs, trails, mobility and equity.

    Moir Park is being reimagined as part of the Nine Mile Creek Corridor project.  The two concepts imagine a park placed within an existing prairie and create an experience of being in nature. 

    The following are given in the reimagined park based on public input and professional recommendations:

    • A new ADA compliant trail will be constructed between Moir Park and the creek.
    • Construction materials will have a natural / rustic feel. 
    • The existing building and shelter will be replaced with a single, new, open air shelter with year-round restrooms.
    • The park options explore nature and adventurous free play in lieu of a traditional playground. 
    • A short walking loop will be incorporated into the design. 
    • Disc golf will remain.


    The prairie and adventure theme concepts shown below offer a range of options for Moir Park. Your feedback by November 15 on these two park concepts will help the design team narrow down the options for the park.
