Moore Park consisted of a series of gently rolling hills, three water bodies and varied scrub vegetation. Commonly known as the Sand Hills, the land was prone to erosion. By the mid 19th century, the land was degraded and barren, more a result of years of timber getting, pillaging and dumping than of inherent environmental qualities. The removal of timber in particular had led to erosion problems, so that by the early s Charles Moore the alderman and Charles Moore, the Director of the Sydney Botanic Gardens, collaborated to stabilise the soils with plantings of indigenous shrubs and couch grass.

The shrubs failed, but the couch grass succeeded quickly, and sparked discussion about the loss of native vegetation in the area. However, in the process of transforming the common into parkland, these hills were modified greatly. Today Mount Steel is the least altered of the four historic sand hills.
