About

Moor Park is a residential neighbourhood in the city of Preston, Lancashire. The area is made up of a mix of terraced streets and later semi‑detached houses, with Moor Park Avenue running through the heart of the neighbourhood. Local facilities include a small parade of shops, a primary school, and a community centre that hosts clubs and drop‑in sessions. Several small green spaces and allotment plots provide room for outdoor activity, and regular bus services link the area with other parts of the city.

Daily life in Moor Park centers on local routes and street‑level amenities rather than large commercial centres. Short walking distances mean schools, shops and parks are readily reachable on foot, and many residents use bicycles for short trips. Community groups organise occasional tidy‑ups and events at the community centre, and the neighbourhood character is shaped by its compact street plan and the steady presence of local services along Moor Park Avenue.
