Savannah is fortunate to have some outstanding parks. Our most active park is probably the 20 plus acre park in the Historic - Victorian District, Forsyth Park. At over 150 years the beautiful Forsyth Park attracts residents, tourists and students alike. Whether it's just a stroll, running, tennis, soccer, dog walking, a picnic or Symphony in the Park there is always something to do.
Sandwiched between Drayton and Whitaker streets lined with beautiful homes and Inns, Forsyth Park is a must see for visitors to Savannah. You may remember the movie "Forrest Gump" with Forrest sitting on the park bench in Forsyth Park telling the story of his life or from the movie "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil".The large and ornate fountain was created in 1858 and received a major restoration in 1988
"The Mansion on Forsyth Park", a luxury hotel overlooking the park from Drayton St. is one of my favorite places for lunch because of the great view of the park. Definitely a must see when visiting Savannah!
