History Originally known as the Sydney Common it covered some 153 hectares to the South East of the town and was designated as one of Australia's earliest parks in 1866, the following year it was named after Charles Moore, the Mayor of Sydney City Council. In 1867 several of the sandhills were levelled and three years later inearly half of the park was covered with grass. The straight lines of Randwick Road, which passes through the park, was fenced in and replaced the old curved road. In 1837 a new water supply was built to replace the polluted 'Tank Stream' which had to that time been the colonists main supply of water. The new line connected the Busby Bore with a water from the Lachlan Swamp in what is now known as Moore Park. Moore Park, was also the site of Sydney's first Zoo. The Moore Park Zoological Gardens opened in 1884, and was run by less than a dozen people. Built in the area known as Billygoat Swamp, it was subject to flooding and creating problems for both keepers and the animals. As Sydney grew so did the demand for a larger zoo. It was eventually closed down and the animals were moved to the Taronga Zoo, when it opened in 1916. The Sydney Girls' High School and later Sydney Boys High also occupied this site. The Moore Park Toll House appears to have been built in 1849 and still exits on the corner of Anzac Parade and Cleveland Street. It is the only two story toll house in New South Wales.
