It con- <br />sists of 105 acres on the east side of Indianapolis Road in the <br />northern part of town. The park includes five baseball <br />diamonds, two soccer fields, a swimming pool and areas for <br />picnicing, horseshoe pitching, vOlleyball, walking and a variety <br />of other activities. <br /> <br />Mooresville also has two smaller parks. Old Town Park is <br />located on South Street near High Street, and North Park lies <br />bètween Rose Lane and Greenwood Drive. <br /> <br />There is considerable open space in the planning area because of <br />two land uses. The prevalence of agricultural land use through- <br />out the buffer zone provides much open space around Mooresville. <br />Also, the extensive floodplain of White Lick Creek and its East <br />Fork significantly limits development in low lying areas and <br />preserves open space. <br /> <br />Circulation <br /> <br />Most traffic through Mooresville consists of automobiles. <br />Heavier truck traffic is allowed on State Roads 67, 42, 267, and <br />144, which pass through town.
