The renovation is slightly behind schedule because of wet weather in the spring and summer.
The area remains closed, and crews are working seven days a week.
The project includes an interactive water fountain where children can play, new restrooms, and a cafe. There is additional seating for folks to sit and hang out.
"I think it'll add a whole new breath of life to downtown," said Nick Johnson. "I'm excited about it. Everywhere you turn in downtown Raleigh, there's a new something or other going on."
"It (the park) never changes so I think change will be a little bit of a good difference," Amari McLoud said.
Moore Square was designed in 1792 and is one of Raleigh's five original squares.
The city investing $12.5 million for the revamp and officials said spending is within budget.
