I had been there before and this time I wanted to show my family the fountain. It was a lovely spot to sit on a bench and take in the breezes cooling us with the fountain water's mist.

This is a beautiful park with a beautiful fountain and some beautiful weeping willow trees, however, it seems to be a bit overrated. It would be ideal place for picnic or playing Frisbee but once you have walked the main road and seen the fountain there's not much more to do. There are plenty of other beautiful places to see...

A great place to walk, jog or just take a nap. Plenty of live oak trees draped with Spanish moss. A very dog park friendly park. It is surrounded by grand homes.

My family has been to Savannah on three separate occasions now and Forsyth Park is always on our must do list. It is a beautiful place to rest your feet and people watch. You never know who you might see either. Everyone from SCAD college students to local and not so local celebrities enjoy the shade and beauty of this... More

This large park is a must-see in Savannah. The graceful white fountain is a classic and the big sweeps of lawn under the moss-draped oaks make for a beautiful setting. Lots of parking meters on the streets right next to the park, but try some of the side streets for free spaces.

The fountain is not to be missed. It was well kept and covered with the grand oaks Savannah is known for.

My husband and I happened upon Forsyth Park the minute we got to Savannah. We had never seen anything like it so we hopped out of our car immediately. Luckily, it was lunch time so we got to try out the cafe. Our chicken Caesar wraps were so yummy! Friendly folks behind the counter too.
