A lot of people enjoy the park whether walking, riding bikes or walking their dogs. Only draw back is the guys selling palm frond flowers. They are all over the city and... More

The fountain has been restored and now operates, very picturesque. I saw two weddings while strolling through the park, and concert. It is beautiful in the Spring and Summer! More

This is a super size version of all of the great little parks scattered around Savannah, it's pièce de résistance is the beautiful fountain at the north end. lots of activity as well as plenty of places to repose in the cool shad and take in the grand old architecture of the buildings that surround it.
