    Even looks cool under the ice
    Had a nice Christmas walk through the park. The fountain looked amazing with the decorations and the water flowing through areas that had frozen over! This park, amongst many others within the historic district, are quite pleasant to stroll through. It would be good to come back in the spring, with everything in bloom.

    Beautiful public park
    lovely spot to walk about, the Saturday Farmers' Market was fun to wander through. Watching the frisbee tournament was fun too. Beautiful fountain - who knew it was a mail order item? :-)

    Reminded us of Paris!
    It was a pleasant walk to get there from the River District and we were able to pass thru several other squares. We loved the fountain and seeing people sitting on the benches all around the fountain reminded us of Paris. It was a nice shady rest spot before we resumed our walk. It was beautiful, very Old World, and work the stop.

    Beautiful Must See Park!
    Beautiful park! On Saturday there was a wonderful farmer's market and artists, live music, people of all ages enjoying the park. Water fountain had green water dyed for St. Patrick's Day. We enjoyed lunch at Collins. Made reservation then shopped until our table was ready. Also visited on week day and artists were there but no live music. Great park to stroll or bring lunch and sit outside. We walked thru in morning, afternoon and late evening. Loved it!

    Absolutely beautiful park!
    Allow time to relax on a bench, this is the largest walking area and includes the beautiful fountain circle. Scenic green setting and good food at the tavern on the green type indoor garden house / outdoor patio restaurant at the opposite end of the park from the fountain. Good coffee and dessert stop, also.

    Pack a picnic and enjoy!
    Beautiful park with a gorgeous fountain. There were artists in the park painting and selling items. The playgrounds are great with a restaurant nearby that sells ice cream. Clean public restrooms. We visited twice during our week-long vacation in Savannah. Definitely a picnic-worthy park.

    Pretty park
    Beautiful park that is worth the visit. Trees are gorgeous. Lots of benches for enjoying the view. Dog friendly too. The buildings around the park are very pretty. Lovely fountain, monuments to military heroes, and playgrounds for children.

    SCAD Sidewalk Arts Festival and Farmer's Market
    We came down for the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) Sidewalk Arts Festival and Parent's Weekend. The event was very well organized and the students worked hard on their projects. It was an amazing experience! We were also fortunate enough to go to the farmer's market in the morning. It was a very yummy day.

    Worth making a trip!
    Rich history, beautiful sights, kind people! We saw multiple graduates taking pictures in front of the fountain which was lovely. People were very kind and respectful to each other when someone wanted to take a photo with minimal background distraction. So many artists painting, drawing, musicians playing, kids and puppies - It was delightful! Can’t wait to go back!

    Beautiful Park-great for people watching and picnics
    On our first day in Savannah we walked around and explored the city and this is one of the first places we explored. Beautiful park-trees with Spanish moss, a fountain, playground, gardens and statues. We walked through a few times during our visit. Picnics are dotted throughout the park. Great people watching as well! I ran through and around the park every morning as well. A must see when in Savannah!

It's like being inside a storybook. It's SO beautiful!! My visit in mid November has been cloudy and a little cool, but it didn't stop us from a visit to this beautiful park. It wasnt too crowded and the trees are simply breathtaking. I would be happy spending an entire warm spring day on the grassy lawn here.... Stress just melts away.

My husband and I were in town for our anniversary and this park is a Beauty. Saturday mornings are a must for the market. You will find artists, farmers and so much more selling their goods. The grounds are beautiful and insta worth pictures for all.

Lovely and worth every step! The Live Oaks and Spanish moss create a dreamy atmosphere - indigenous architecture surrounding the park square is as if one has stepped into another time period altogether

Huge green space in the middle of the Historic District. The iconic fountain is beautiful. And of course the place is full of tourists.

What a beautiful park. We stayed near the park, so often walked thru the park and loved it. It felt very safe and walked thru at all times of the day. Great farmers market on Saturday

This park used to be stunning. I used to feel safe walking through the park at any time. My recent trip has made me wonder why the city doesn’t take more pride in the amazing history you have! I had trouble with the multitude of homeless people and felt unsafe during a midday walk. Do better Savannah

This is a lovely park in the historic district with lots of activities going on. There are always people enjoying the park, trees and also has a farmer's market, music festivals, artists and of course the lovely fountain. You can find clean public restrooms here as well.

Forsyth Park is very spacious with areas for different activities. One of the focal points of the park is the lovely white fountain. It is hard to believe that it was actually ordered from a catalog! The restrooms we used in the park were very clean which was a bonus.
