In 2012, the City of Klamath Falls, working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board, and Oregon Wild, re-established a lake fringe wetland at Marina 1 in Moore Park to lessen shoreline erosion and recreate or restore wetlands that had once been prominent there before the boat ramp was built. The Moore family donated 114 acres to the City of Klamath Falls in 1926 for development of the park. In the 1950's, Moore Park was home to downhill skiing, archery, ice skating, and a city zoo that housed a black bear, raccoons, foxes, skunks, bobcats, badgers, porcupines, deer, and exotic birds. The zoo closed in 1976. Today, Moore Park has soccer fields, tennis courts, playgrounds, picnic areas, and nature trails.
