Forsyth Park
Forsyth Park Review
The park forms the southern border of Bull Street. On its 30 acres are a glorious white fountain dating to 1858, Confederate and Spanish-American War memorials, and the Fragrant Garden for the Blind, a project of Savannah garden clubs. There are tennis courts and a tree-shaded jogging path. Outdoor plays and concerts often take place here. At the northwest corner of the park, in Hodgson Hall, a 19th-century Italianate Greek Revival building, you can find the Georgia Historical Society, which shows selections from its collection of artifacts and manuscripts.

Provided an excellent break for the kids, as well as a bathroom break, after a couple of hours walking the streets of Savannah. A recreational oasis among the living history books.

Located a few blocks south of the squares in the Historic District, this park is a greatly exaggerated version of them all -- it boasts both a large commemorative statue and a grand fountain (the squares have one or the other) as well as plenty of flower beds and large oaks in its northern half, playing fields in its southern half. Well worth finding.

During the hot days of summer, this park seems farther from the historic district than you'd think! Children's playground was pretty good and of course is FREE! The beautiful fountain featured in many photos is near the playground but be aware that Savannah's homeless population can be hanging out on the benches there.
