This place makes me want to just stay all day and take a nap. It's the most relaxing place you will eve want to visit. The beauty of the fountain and live oaks make this place a wedding magnet. There seems to be one each time mew visit

We loved Forsyth Park, we went back twice for coffee and to enjoy the outdoor area. It was clean and beautiful with restroom facilities on site. The moss draped trees and fountains are not to be missed!

I was there Saturday morning and got to enjoy the Farmers Market as well. The fountain is a replica from one in France. It is stunning... you must see it.

A lovely park. There is a visitor centre with limited free parking. The free trolley service stops near the park and parking the car in this area is probably going to be less problematic than downtown where you either have to use parking garages or have money for a meter.
