It was once referred to as "Moody Square" in 1863. The park was finally established in 1889 and was formally recognized in 1908.
In 1936 a formal long-term development plan highlighting its signature paths was drafted by landscape architect R.H. Savery.
Moody Park is 23.78 acres (9.62 hectare) of green space named after Colonel Richard Clement Moody of the Royal Engineers. Originally surveyed in 1859 the park has served as a recreation hub for community gatherings, lacrosse and rugby for over a century. The park added a hockey arena in 1975 and an outdoor pool in 2009. In the early 2000s community efforts improved safety conditions in the park and features like playgrounds and an outdoor community pool were added as well. It even boasts a decent enclosed dog park!
About the City of New Westminster: The city was incorporated on July 16, 1860. It is British Columbia's oldest city and it turned 165 years old in 2025. It is often called the "Royal City" and served as a vital 'colonial hub' on the Fraser River.
