This is what a park should feel like. The 2 times that I walked thru it the fast paced life which we are so accustomed to seemed to fade. Agendas seem to melt as I watched children playing with eachother, people throwing frisbees or balls, walking their dogs, running and lots of people strolling thru. It's nice way to relax... more

The park is beautiful especially on a full sunny day. The people watching is great too.....all the locals and the local daycare kids playing in the park. Be aware that if you go in 2008 that they are doing some construction on parts of the park but it definitely does not take away from the overall beauty. more

Don't miss seeing Forsyth Park. The squares & street "medians" (unworthy word to describe them) are stunning, but FP is heavenly. Get off the trolley tour here & explore every detail. Savannah is such a deep place . . . more

My wife and I visited Savannah in July,2006. We ventured into Forsyth Park and were mesmerized by its beauty and elegance. We found a well shaded bench beneath the live oaks before the fountain and enjoyed the peaceful chatter of nature. FP is a must see...the pathways, the moss, the oaks and the picture perfect setting...no words can describe the... more

This was my first trip to Savannah, and it wouldn't have been complete without seeing the fountain at FP. It was simply beautiful, as was the rest of the park! Made me wish I had my dog with me!! He would have loved it! Seems like it would have been a lovely spot for a picnic if it wasn't 98... more

We walked through or rode past Forsyth Park several times during the week we visited Savannah. All of the parks in the Historic District are beautiful. Try to see all of them, but if you have to limit yourself to just one make this your "must see". The locals and tourists all have smiles on their faces when they're in... more

Every time my family and I visit Savannah, we make sure to go to Forsyth Park. The shady walkways and the fountain make for great photos. As of July,2005, the Confederate Monument is undergoing cleaning. Parking is made easy and free down a number of sidestreets in case you choose not to walk to the park. A visitor to Savannah... more

Every trip to Savannah should include a stroll here. At the entrance to the park is the fabled "doggy" drinking fountain. There are plenty of spots to sit and just relax and it's shady and cool even on a hot day. more
