Created in the 19th century as part of a beautification project, Forsyth Park contains walking paths, play areas, tennis courts, and a cafe. City planners began this park in the 1840s on a small piece of land designated for public use. Using this plot as the core of their design, they then expanded the park's grounds with land donated by Georgia governor John Forsyth. Named in recognition of Forsyth's contribution to the development of the city, the park now spans over 12 hectares (30 acres) and serves as the focal point of residential areas radiating from this public space. Today it's popular for its free concerts and farmers' market. Use our Savannah online driving holiday planner to arrange your visit to Forsyth Park and other attractions in Savannah.

The park is like a small "central" park for Savannah. Lots of activities and many people relaxing. Easy walking distance from all areas.

The park was beautiful and a lovely stroll down the center under the canopy of trees. Playgrounds were available, tennis courts, plenty of grass to place a blanket and relax. On our Sunday afternoon there were many homeless and at one end of the park they were having an event offering food and water for the homeless. It got a bit rowdy by a few attendees. A bit of yelling, pushing, throwing of water bottles. But the rest of our visit was pleasant. We walked down the center as well as on the outside parameters to enjoy the architect of the older homes. Be smart and be aware of your surrounding while visiting.

Great park in Savannah. I frequent visit this park due to it’s attraction. This time I visited in the late morning time and found very less people so feel comfortable to have family photograph. Don’t forget to buy painting or handmade ornaments (as a memory of park visit) sold by street vendors. You are supporting locals by buying some products . Park is clean and have public restroom. If you are with kids, they can enjoy in kids zone too
