The 47 best parks and gardens in Savannah

This is a beautiful park in the historic district. Lots of lovely shade trees and new benches. Many young locals out for a walk or run. Very active large park. Several historical sites and a fountain ⛲ and a nice restaurant. Dog friendly.

Beautiful place to go for a walk, have a picnic, or just chill on a bench and people- watch or read a book! The trees are absolutely amazing!!! They also have a really cool farmers’ market on Saturday mornings with fresh produce, of course, and much more - food, art, various artisan goods, and fun, quirky surprises waiting to be discovered!

This is where I'd go daily if I were living here. What a fantastic park to have an afternoon stroll, relax at one of the beaches and people watch, or find a little spot on the grass to end the day. Great history too and is famous with many films featuring the park.

Forsyth Park is such a beautiful and dynamic place! There’s always something going on. people having picnics, kids playing, sports, and sometimes even live music. The vibe is amazing, full of life and good energy. It’s a perfect spot for walking, relaxing, or just spending time outdoors.

The fountain is currently out for restoration (July 2025), but this park is amazing. The vibe, the restaurant, the small garden... very picturesque! (Pics from April 2025). Come picnic ready, it's definitely the place for it. Street parking must be difficult on weekends (when the fountain is in), there's a farmers market every Saturday and there's special events happening all the time. Check the local calendar!

This park is fabulous! It’s a busy place on Saturday with soccer, ultimate frisbee, tennis, basketball, and anything else you can imagine. It also features a wonderful market along the central, live oak-line walkway. The fountain is beautiful and there’s construction happening and it looks like maybe a new zen garden is coming. There is a stage and I’d love to come back for a concert one day. Locals and visitors should take advantage of this amazing outdoor space early and often!

Beautiful park and it should be one of the first places to visit when you are in Savannah. There is also free parking by the tenis courts and free bus that can take you from there to the waterfront and free ferry wich is great for sightseeing the whole downtown area.

The premium sites were the most level. They were considered premium because they had 50 amp service and sewer hookups. Our first night we were scheduled to be in site 77 which was so unlevel we absolutely could not set up with our 30 foot travel trailer. We moved to site one and stayed five more nights. They have nice laundry rooms and showers throughout the park. The Ranger station/store/education center is very new and nice.

The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly with the booking process and the campsites are tucked into the woods and are very cozy. The hiking trails are beautiful, especially early in the morning and we would happily stay again. Stayed in a class B 21 foot camper van.

Lots of amenities at this state park. Very accessible. Electricity and water at every site. Beautiful, shady, spacious sites. Plenty of showers with abundant, warm water. Less than 30 minutes from Historic Savannah. Groceries and restaurants close at hand. There's even a coffee truck, Overflow Coffee, in the parking lot of the church right outside the park entrance, opening at 7 am.

We recently camped here for two nights and loved it! What a beautiful park. We camped at site #4 which was a premium site - full hooks ups and pull thru. Site was very spacious and level and not close to neighbors. It felt very private. The visitor center is super nice and spacious. It also has a little nature center inside with turtles and snakes. The views are beautiful. The trees with the moss in them made for memorable pictures. We did the trail behind the visitor center. It had just rained so the trail was covered in ankle deep water. Beautiful views though and very flat and level. Easy for older people or kids to navigate. Definitely bring bug spray! Mosquitoes were plentiful. Even saw frogs and snakes! It’s close to Savannah and Tybee Island. It makes for a great base camp to explore the area.

Camping with the big long trailer. This is a premier Georgia state park. I'm happy we came. The sites are really well laid out with lots of options. Great trails, good facilities and real close to everything.

The park is beautiful as in shaddy & there are deers to see every day. We have a class A 38 ft. not big rig friendly, the roads are not wide enough & they are two way roads that should be one way, the roads are erupting because of tree roots, they should have been fixed years ago. The dump station is only on one side of the road. When we were there for a week there was this loud noise like a commercial leaf blower in the morning not sure if it was in the park.

Our Scout Troop stayed in the pioneer (primitive) campsite, which was perfect for our group. The rangers and park staff were very helpful with our needs, and very happy to engage in conversation. They were all knowledgeable about the park and surrounding areas, and taught us about the natural features (and some invasive species) in the Low Country.

Wormsloe State Historic Site is a must-see when visiting Savannah. From the moment you enter the breathtaking oak-lined drive, you know you’re in for something special. The grounds are both peaceful and full of history, with plenty of opportunities to learn and explore at your own pace. I really appreciated that visitors can choose to walk the full trail system or hop on the trolley for part of the journey—it makes the experience accessible for everyone. The weather was perfect during our visit, which made wandering through the shaded paths even more enjoyable. To top it off, there’s a charming little shop with unique gifts and keepsakes, a nice way to end a truly memorable outing.

Wormsloe Historic Site is absolutely stunning! The long oak-lined entrance is breathtaking, it feels like stepping into a movie. The place is full of history and charm, with peaceful walking trails and beautiful scenery all around. It’s a great spot to learn a bit about Savannah’s past while enjoying nature. Definitely worth visiting!

A wonderful visit. The Park Guides are very nice and informative. Taking the ride through the 1.5 miles of the Live Oak canopied drive is great. Lovely walking/hiking trails as well!

I’m so grateful that they now have a ranger hook up seating to a tractor and took us down to the museum. They stopped letting folks in the main gate because there were too many cars on the mile and a half stretch, and it was destroying the roots of the trees, not to mention aggravation for the people who live there. They have a very informative museum as well as a trail down to the tabby ruins and Jones’s Cemetery

One of my favorite experiences, of course, the history behind it isn't the greatest, but there's so much nature to look at, and the walk for a mile or the ride by the tractor 🚜 was great as well! So many beautiful oak trees, it is worth taking many photos of all those beautiful trees.

I photographed a friend here for her senior photos. Absolutely beautiful place. Came down on a weekend and it was not too busy. Definitely a place to visit if you love seeing nature.

You HAVE to visit! This place is incredible. The stunning live oak avenue is just the start. At the visitor center, you get a quick history lesson, a fascinating museum, and a great gift shop. But the real magic is outside: walk to the 1737 tabby ruins (oldest in Savannah!), explore trails with gorgeous marsh views, and catch the living history demonstrations in the Colonial Life Area (afternoons, weather permitting). Plus, five more miles of nature trails if you're up for it. For only $12 an adult, this is an absolute steal for a day of history and nature!" Parking is free

this truly was an unexpected find. we had a afternoon to hold us till dinner time so the wife got tickets for this play at this old theater which really was unique. add the park just across the street which was incredibly beautiful even on a 90° day.

Great place for a walk. Beautiful gardens and flowers. Unfortunately the Forrest Gump bench is no longer there. Locals stated it has been moved to a museum.

Nice little park, you can walk all the way around it. It barely resembles "Forrest Gump" anymore but still iconic. Vendors tak up alot of the picture space on the weekends so try coming during the week. Enjoy the surrounding shops as well.

Beautiful trees, plenty of seats to relax and enjoy the view. The major attraction here is that Forrest Gump bus stop scene was filmed here. The bench was a prop and no longer in place but at the Savannah History Museum.

Each of the squares in Savannah are unique. This one is no different, and happens to be the back drop from the famous scene in Forest Gump. There did not appear to be any visible signs of the actual bench in the scene but can visualize it along the street, looking at the backside of the statue in the middle of the park.

Nice square amongst many nice squares in Savannah. This is of course home to the famous bench where forest gump sat at the infamous bus stop. Unfortunately the bench is no longer there and resides in a museum. It would be nice if the location of where the bench was has a mark. It does not.

Very neat and historic square. Where Forrest Gump sat to tell his story. Unfortunately, his bench is gone. However, I believe it was relocated to an indoor location and can be viewed there.

If you are ever traveling to Florida this is a must see! This park jumps right out of a painting! The surrounding area is also beautiful! There is also some local artists selling all kinds of paintings and jewelry.

Daffin Park is overall a nice place spacious, green, and great for walking, relaxing, or enjoying the outdoors. The playground and open areas are perfect for kids to run around, and the scenery makes it a pleasant spot for families. That said, the homeless presence around certain areas, especially near the playground, can make the atmosphere feel a little unsavory at times. While it doesn’t take away from the park’s overall charm, it’s something families with young children should be aware of. With a bit more upkeep and attention to safety, Daffin Park could be an excellent five-star experience.

Dog friendly. They have a dog park but we personally do not do dog parks. We love taking our dogs here for walks though! Plenty of parking as well!

Nice accessible park! Visited from out of town and I have driving anxiety in cities and this park was very easy to navigate. I felt safe here. my son loved the toddler swings and the smaller slides! Great for toddlers

It is always a pleasure going to Daffin Park,,, plenty of space,, plenty of activities going on,, get to meet and see the Bananas baseball team,,, and there's a outdoor Personal trainer out there with tons of equipment and clients training

I traveled from Fl for a Tree Climbing competition at Daffin park. This park has the most gorgeous and amazing trees. Plenty of parking and areas to walk your dog or play with family. Kids park, tennis courts, bathrooms, walking trails and fields galore. I frequently go to parks and this one by far exceeded my expectations and was a Pleasure to experience! A Must see

Nice park for a walk or run. Mile marker signs posted for convenience. Even though it’s close to the main road, it’s not very loud. However, one side of the park is near the fire station and that could get loud at times of an emergency. The park has a waking trail, dog park, playground, basketball court, and I believe a pool. The fountain is also gorgeous and has benches around it for seating. Be careful with little ones around the pond. Oh, it also features a huge lot of green grass for whatever you’d like. Such as, soccer, running, star gazing, etc. people bring their dogs out on a leash as well. Lovely park.

The lady at the ticket booth was very friendly. If it were not for her this would be a 1 star review. The cost is very reasonable, but I was expecting to see more animals. For the length of the trail, there are very few animals. And the few they had, many were hiding, in vet care or for whatever reason the exhibit is closed. It was pretty hot when we came as well, in the mid-80’s so by the time we were halfway through we were dripping in sweat. The first half of the trail was somewhat enjoyable but after that it was just torture. Very few animals and we just wanted it to end! If you like walking a lot and sweating a lot, go for it. If you like seeing lots of animals, go somewhere else.

A great way to spend a few hours outside, taking a walk and seeing animals. The wildlife trail is very pretty to walk through with a few different stops to sit. This place is also affordable at $5 for adults, I definitely recommend.

This is a great location for children to learn about many different animals varying from wolves to eagles. It was hot so bring plenty of water and be sure to take breaks. The trail is about 2 miles long and offers some shade.

What an absolute great time, and for a low entry price! This is an absolute must if you have children and are looking to burn a couple of hours. The inside is relatively small and short, but the outside walking trail is a nice long easily 2 hour walk full of animals and experiences. We enjoyed the small aquatic display inside and the cute gift shop, but the real hit was the farm area with all the various animals, cows, donkeys, sheep, goat, chickens, pigs, turkeys, and a few others really drew the whole thing in and made it a great stop for our toddler. DOWNSIDES. The walking trail while accessible, is very rough in some spots and not the best in others so it can be challenging briefly. Come prepared with bug spray, water, and fans depending on the time of year, and you should be good to go.

What a great place to spend a lazy Sunday. They have a great selection of animals including bison, owls, deer and more! Make sure to check out the cougar exhibit as well! They were very active. Nice cute gift shop too. Very cheap admission too! Would definitely visit again sometime soon!

Staff was super friendly and you can tell the animals are very well taken care of. Beautiful scenery and trails. Just be sure to keep an eye on the weather! You will get soaked if it starts raining! 🤣

What a wonderful walk on the nature trail. Some of the animals (cats) were hiding because of time of day but I enjoyed scenery and many birds. My watch read 2.31 miles for the total loop from the visitor's center.

I stayed at the backcountry/hike-in site 1 on April 22nd. Arrived after the park office had closed but it was pretty easy to figure out where I was going from the reservation packet they had left to the left of the entrance. No information about where to park for hike-in sites. The hike was short but nice. The right-hand trail of the loop (the shortest way to site 1) is closed but it still took less than 20 minutes to get to the site. Site is pretty small with no fire ring and it is right next to the “lookout platform” (kinda disappointing- it’s only about 7 or 8 feet off of the ground) so if anyone wants to go there they will be traipsing through your campsite. But the hike in sites are far away from the main campground so not sure that many people would be interested (no one came through my site in the 12 hours or so I was there). The location is nice, right at the edge of a wetland area with a small waterway right in front of the lookout center, but the bugs are relentless. The no see ums were so bad I could not enjoy my dinner on the lookout platform like I had hoped, and the campground rules state that you are not allowed to have a fire unless it is in a designated ring so I spent 99% of my time there in my tent hiding from the bugs. Maybe it was just the time of year, but I don’t think I would stay here again. Also, they charge you a parking/access fee and I think that’s pretty crap to be charged for that when you are already paying for camping.

The guest services were kind and helpful. The self guided tour was perfect. It was very discriptive and informative. You could go through at your own pace. The entire place was beautiful and tranquil. If you listened closely as the wind blew through the trees and the palm fronds, you might hear the voices of long ago soldiers as the prepared for and fought battles. This is somewhere I would definitely return to in the future.

A good experience with plenty of knowledge to learn about the fort and area surrounding! Hiking trails were a bit flooded from the recent rain but still plenty to explore besides them. The places they let your explore are spooky but awesome to see! Very Well maintained!

Fantastic option for those exploring Savannah and local wildlife! Gorgeous park with lots of wildlife and places to walk. The cabins are truly impressive (sorry, I totally didnt take a photo)! No wifi, so plan for that.

Beautiful park. Stayed 2 nights and will be back. Large sites with water and hydro. Some sites with sewer. Varied wildlife wider the park. Saw many deer, armadillo, owls raccoons. Reasonable prices and nice quiet park. Trails, boats ramps. Small gift shop on site. Dump station, comfort stations. Highly recommend this gem!

We love this campground. The sites are shady, the atmosphere is awesome and the wildlife experience is second to none. The deer and raccoons visited our site every night. They would literally creep up within 10 or 15 feet of us in hopes we had food.

Beautiful State Park, excellent park staff. A great spot to throw a line in or picnic w the kids.Will be booking a campsite soon.

Cool Revolutionary War sight where a very bloody battle took place

Not a lot here, but we did find some free parking. The children's museum and railroad museum next door should stay open a bit longer, closing at 3 is a bit ridiculous.

Puts into perspective the lives lost for our independence. 800 stones for each life. Humbling to see and more appreciation than ever that these young men died for our freedom from Britain

A connection area between the History Museum and the Railroad Museum & Children Museum.

Beautiful historic place. Nice walk around the place.

City run pay to park. Pay for permit for you tour bus to drive in Savannah. But your bus can't park or you pay a fine. You should ride a City sight seeing tour bus but you have to pay. And the city is under construction and dirty. Go somewhere else.

Great visitor center, friendly and helpful workers--mostly, we had three full days to tour Savannah because of being able to park our motorhome at the center.

Walks through old cemeteries are always quietly thought provoking and Bonaventure is no exception. Its uniquely southern semitropical environment gives it a very different feeling, moodier than most even in the blazing hot mid morning sun of August. Beautiful stonework throughout with often poignant inscriptions and dates of historical significance. Fewer statuary than I expected but still several really pretty but weathered examples. This cemetery is well worth a visit though I’d opt for going without the ever talking guides.

Beautiful cemetery! Duration: 1 hour Parking: free (I recommend just parking at the entrance and roaming) There is really no need for a paid tour guide. Simply ask your AI if choice to give you a tour of the major points of interest.

Bonaventure Cemetery is the most beautiful and unusual cemetery I’ve ever seen. The huge oak trees draped in moss give it such a mysterious atmosphere… so many beautiful sculptures… so peaceful and timeless.

I don’t know what I was expecting, we came to visit because my mother-in-law really wanted to go. I think I could’ve spent all day here, in fact we plan to come back and take a guided tour. You walk through and want to know more about the people buried here. The graves and families entombed here are incredibly thought-provoking. Lots of tragic history mixed with the Gothic southern surroundings. It’s an incredible place, I’d highly recommend doing a guided tour to get the most out of it. They even had a Revolutionary War soldier and of course the famous “Little Gracie”.

Beautiful cemetery with a lot of history. Great place to walk around and get some exercise here. You can donate a few bucks and they will give you a map. Very nice in the summertime

This historic cemetery still has active burials occuring within its bucolic and gently rolling terrain, amidst many old, beautiful and diverse trees and shrubs. The depth of history here goes back to colonial times with many different types of monuments, mausoleums and gravestones present. Some of the property borders the waterfront making for a diverse experience overall. Quietly walking these hallowed grounds is both solemn and touching.

As cemeteries go, this one is quite unique and visually interesting to see! Pictures don’t quite do it justice. Free to visit. I recommend driving inside and finding a spot to park and walking around for a bit. Then you can get back in your car and drive through the rest. Some very old graves here going back to the 1800s if not 1700s. A great variety in the various headstones and monuments and tombs, etc., and all the magnolia trees and Spanish moss just give it a very unique atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

Definitely worth visiting this old fort near the Savannah port. We most enjoyed the musket demonstration where the soldier explained how the guns, bullets, and bayonets were used in battles and skirmishes. His demonstration of how to quickly load and fire 3 rounds in about 1 minute was wonderful. We enjoyed the artifacts and displays along with walking around and exploring the fort. There’s a small fee to get in but well worth it. History buffs will love this place! Not a history buff? This fort is a great place to learn about why the US built forts in post-revolution history and the role they served through the late 1800s.

Must go and enjoy. Preferred when it's cooler months! The curator was absolutely amazing! The gift shop was overly fair priced... And if you're a history nut, it doesn't matter what the weather is.

What an amazing visit we had!! The location is beautiful, old fort Jackson sits on the Savannah river. You will meet the most friendly, informative staff. They will tell you so much information that time will pass quickly as you take it in, you may even want to go back to learn more soon! They have demonstrations of weapon firings and cannon firings. It is a real treat to witness, they provide ear and eye safety for all visitors. You may be lucky enough to see the riverboat cruising from here! If you've done that cruise it is so cool to see it from a new angle. If not, the riverboat is beautiful on its own and an added visual perk. For bird watchers we saw American Eagles and Terns during our visit. When you arrive, slow down and take in this wonderful site slowly. It is not a large fort, to me that is what made it so special. Thank you to everyone who works hard to keep these historic sites alive for generations to experience. To the 2 soldiers at the fort today you knocked it out of the park!

A fun history lesson. Plenty of demonstrations of arms to satisfy the child in all of us. A great place to bring the kids. Our guide/ reenactor was phenomenal.

Very interesting, the interpreter was very knowledgeable and friendly.. A nice piece of history. M

A really cool historical fort to visit on the Georgia coast! Highly worth stopping by. If you like history and nature you will love this fort.

So much fun! Our guide through history was amazing! She was so knowledgeable and fun! This is a great and inexpensive way to spend an afternoon. Show up around 12:45 pm and watch the muzzle loader firing, watch as they fire the cannon at the Riverboat, then fire another canon! Great afternoon all around, do it you won't regret it.

My husband and I spent about 3 hours here both at the center and the drive through. It was so nice to be able to drive through, get out and walk around, take pictures and really take in and enjoy the nature. Beautiful landscapes and birds to see. Spotted a few alligators as well! Highly recommended for nature enthusiasts and people looking for budget friendly activities while also getting to learn about nature preservation efforts in the area.

Amazing. Even first week of November we saw five crocodiles… you have to walk or drive at three KM per hour and look out for them on the banks or swimming. We went between 10 and 11 o’clock when it was hot enough for them to sunbathe… also amazing for birds!

First time visit and truly is a beautiful scenic drive. You are met at the entrance by a larger than life oak tree covered in Spanish Moss - they say if you listen close enough you can hear a radio playing an Elvis song. Something magical about this place. Highly recommend visiting!

Just a beautiful drive on a 65-degree day in October 2025. Nature trails, beautiful scenery, alligators, plenty of birds. I spent about 2 hours 45 minutes driving through, with plenty of places to pull over and a couple of small walks.

We saw so many alligators on the public wildlife drive that's down the road from the visitor center. The children and I had so much fun. There is one outdoor restroom on the wildlife drive. Saved me when my little ones needed to potty after too much liquid on our drive. There were and are bugs, of course, so be prepared for that. As well as stay alert for other wildlife but overall it was a great day trip.

We live visiting! So many birds and gators!! Being your binoculars. There's plenty of room for you to go slow and observe (you can pull to the side to let others pass you if needed). Some people rush through, but you see so much more if you take your time and really look!

This is one of my favorite places to go birding. There’s a large number of wild animals, and you can see many of them from your car. There’s also trails where you can walk through some areas of the refuge. This place is known for the large number of alligators, and I have seen many of them every time I have visited.

Burial site of Tadeusz Pulaski, Polish General who fought with the Americans during the Revolutionary War and perished in the Battle of Savannah. Monument is in the heart of Savannah.

Beautiful square at night. The statue in the middle is in honor of Casimir Pulaski. The Father of American Calvary. He was a real American Hero who fought for our independence. He was born in Warsaw Poland and dies in the siege of Savannah on October 9th, 1779. Shout to Casimir.

So pretty I walked around this square in what felt like a quintessential Savannah moment. It was at dusk, with a light rain and fog. The street lights were a beautiful warm natural color, so the wet streets and the spanish moss with the historic buildings gave it a magical feeling. Very memorable and beautiful.

A small square designed in 1847 to honor the 1846 battle of Monterey during the Mexican American War. However, the monument in the middle was erected in honor of General Pulaski who was killed in battle nearby. I have included pictures of the surrounding residential and commercial buildings. Also included is the Mickve Israel Temple (built in 1878), home to one of the oldest congregations practicing Reform Judaism in the United States.

It's is one of the nicer squares not currently having construction happening around it.

Quite the busy square sourrounded by the famous view captured by hollywood movie 'Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil'. Tourists roam, zoom and peddle about taking it all in. The mornings are quiter with the local pets parading about the square. Anytime is a good time to be there.

This lovely square is home to the Mercer-Williams House and General Casimir's Monument. It is a beautiful and peaceful square!!

April 6, 2025 was the most SPECIAL, MEMORABLE, & PERFECT day!!! The love of my life proposed to me in the center of Emmet Park, surrounded by my 2 beautiful kids, granddog, sister, and brother in love. It was all captured on video by a random couple who was there. God is so AMAZINGLY AWESOME! He will put the right people in the right place at the right time 🙌🏾🥰 This will forever be a place that holds a special place in my heart ❤️

1. Historic & Cultural Value - Named after Robert Emmet, an Irish patriot - Features memorials, monuments, and a traditional Irish Celtic cross 2. Scenic Setting - Large oak trees with hanging Spanish moss - Benches and open green areas with river breezes 3. Location Perks - Steps from River Street, making it a nice break from the busy tourist area - Near shops, cafes, and historic sites 4. Event Spot - A key site for Savannah’s St. Patrick’s Day celebrations - Also used for casual strolls and photo ops

Beautiful well-kept park. Convenient hourly parking for walking around the historic district or the riverfront area.

We had such a great time walking all around the park with Cooper! So much of interest to read about here and it feels special to walk in the footsteps of such historic old areas.

Truly enjoyed the beauty and peace of this park. It has lot of trees and the park comes with a history. You can walk around the park lots of places to take pictures like bridges, big black doors etc

Long shadows were forming as I climbed the stairs and walked into the park. It had been a long while since I stood in such a place, live oaks draped with Spanish moss, still many miles from my childhood home in the Florida panhandle, it nonetheless brought memories to mind. As a history buff I enjoyed reading the many historical plaques about people and groups from the Revolutionary War onward.

Beautiful little park, including Vietnam tribute. Super close to the river and historic stair cases. The BEST shopping street right below this cool shady park. Enjoy it all here!

Loved our tour guide! He was so fun and energetic while also being very knowledgeable. The house is beautiful! I was so sad to learn you can’t take pictures inside but I respect the rules either way. It was such a good experience and I would do it again! I bought the book at the gift shop just because it felt very iconic to do so! ❤️

Our guide was just great All original furniture and artifacts. Its at least 3 stories but since family still lives at the house you only get to enjoy a portion of the 1st floor. Its still well worth the time (30 to 45 mins) and price. The ladies seemed to enjoy the large gift shop

Very nice and informative staff. Cannot take pictures within the home. I was a bit disappointed to hear that but the tour was very nice. This is a provate residence still in use by one of Jim's nieces so I can understand the privacy concerns. Overall great home to visit in Savannah.

Beautiful house full of history the 30 minute tour only takes you through the 1st floor because the family still lives on the upper floor of the home. This house is bursting with 17th and 18th century items that the tour guide will give you the history of. The tour costs $13.50 per person and honestly is completely worth it if you’re a history buff or if you’ve seen the movie or read the book ( Midnight in the garden of good and evil) this house is a real must see!!

Interesting history and basis for the novel/movie "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil." I wish I could have taken photos in the courtyard and the house. Lots of beautiful artwork and artifacts. I would have rated it 4 stars had I been able to take photos.

Super interesting combined with reading “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil “ but read the book first too many spoilers. I don’t understand why people are not allowed to take pictures inside, oh well.

As a fan of The Book, this was a dream tour. If was only $14 and close to 45min. The house is gorgeous and our tour guide knew a ton about the history and the art pieces. Jim Williams's liquor cart is still sitting as he left it in the dining room when he died. the liquor collection is less impressive than you'd guess 🤣 but EVERYTHING else was very impressive. If you're a fan of Good and Evil or just want to see a lovely restored historic Savannah home, don't miss this one. Sorry but no pics were allowed, so I posted the best I could 😁

We were a little surprised at how small and dilapidated this museum is being that it’s the Georgia State Museum. With that said, it’s still a place to see a few locomotives, rail cars and passenger cars. There is a blacksmith shop and the machine shop to view. We walked the entire ground, seeing everything too to bottom and were done in about 30 minutes… We try to see all state train museums and we’ve been to more than 40 states, some are huge!! This is just ok. Probably pretty fun for younger kids.

We visited on a school field trip. The kids had a great time. This visit was very informative and interactive. Staff were very pleasant and great with the kids. I only wish the kids had the opportunity to explore the inside of the trains.

Our tour guide Jan made for an incredibly informative and entertaining experience! His knowledge, enthusiasm and love for this location and its deep history made the entire building complex come alive. We are very lucky this location is still intact and local historians like Jan offer tours to the general public.

I enjoyed learning about the history of the railroad system, and appreciated how well everything has been preserved over the years. I came at a time when there was no guided tours available, so I did not get the full story out of all of the exhibits. Also, most of this museum is outdoors which was an issue during my visit when it was extremely hot.

You need to do the guided tour to see anything interesting here. Its Mostly outside so beware the heat! The guided tour thing makes sense, but they don't have anything posted on the website about when the guided tours begin or even that they existed. The only guided tour the website mentions is the Train Ride. You need to do the Guided tour to: - See the inside of the Executive Rail Cars - To do the Handcar - To see the Steam Engine demonstration Most of the buildings are pretty empty sans a few old machines which are cool. They had a few neat locomotives. You can go in the cab of some of them. The architecture was cool to walk through!

The Georgia State railroad museum is a must-visit if you are in Savannah and have any interest in historical machinery and trains. Mason and the crew here was interesting and shared a significant amount of historical information about the site and the trains. Admission includes the opportunity to ride on a rail car pulled by a functional diesel electric locomotive, including two trips on the roundabout. Well done, visit here, highly recommended.

What a cool place with a lot of history! Everyone on staff was friendly and knowledgeable. You will be walking around outside, so wear good shoes and dress for the weather. Make sure to take the train ride and tour the passenger cars while there to learn even more about railroad history.

This is a beautiful sanctuary and near Nine Line Apparel and Black Rifle Coffee. Definitely check it out. Many things are pointed out and captured with complimentary signage which is nice when wondering what you are looking at. Also, the trails are well kept. Currently, April timeframe, it is caterpillar rich! You will find bundles up on bundles of them!

Chartered in 1824, this historic 16.5 mile canal was completed in 1830, joining the Ogeechee and Savannah Rivers to expedite the movement of goods. From the 1840's to the 1860's, the canal prospered and became an important element of the South Georgia economy. Mother Nature was always one of its biggest obstacles, causing the parent company to go bankrupt from the constant repair expenses caused by deterioration and inclement weather conditions. By 1876, weather once again caused serious problems by damaging the structures and canal banks. In addition, a yellow fever epidemic fatally inflicted more than 1,000 individuals working with the canal. By the early 1890s, the railroad had grown and controlled much of the movement of goods forcing the canal to cease operations. The museum at Lock 5 displays the history of the canal and of the local area. Keeping the canal presentable to the public is a continuing labor of love. Again, the museum has been damaged from flooding, and is currently under renovation. However, the outside displays, the portion of Lock 5 and the trails are still accessible and worth the visit.

What a wonderful place. The lady that runs it is so friendly and helpful. This is a nature rich trail. There is a lot of wildlife and birds. The boardwalks are whimsical and inviting, it seemed like as one ended another would be welcoming you from off in the distance. The end view of the river was peaceful and there's a nice place to rest. Use bug spray before going, take water and a light snack if you're going to take your time reading the educational plaques with plant names and information. This is a beautiful chunk of preserved land with a lot of history, it is a treasure to be able to enjoy!

This place offers a lot of walking trails. We enjoyed the trail, which takes you along a swamp area to the head of the river. We saw quite a few critters hanging around, including a snake, lizards, frogs, and a turtle. The sand hill trail is fairly flat and offers views of forested areas. If you are looking to get in a hike, this is an easy alternative. Nice place!

Admission fee was fairly priced to get in. The trails were easy to walk and it was neat to walk on the trail closest to the canal and see it. Saw some wildlife, but not much. A boardwalk that connects the end of two of the trails were closed because they needed to be repaired, not a huge deal though because there is another part that connects the trails not to far back down the trails.

We decided to go with this location after seeing the reviews on the app "All trails". Great place to get out in nature and enjoy the walk up to the Ogeechee River. Rates were $5.00 per person. They do have discounted rates for military and seniors. I would rate it as easy and also per friendly. Benches along the trail just incase you want to stop and rest or sit by the river to enjoy the peacefulness of nature.

What an awesome place to hike. I was looking for an easy trail since its been years since I hiked and I've been wanting to get back into it. The place is definitely a gem as its got some beautiful views. The trails were easy to follow and the more wooded trails were marked well. The park I learned, is a privately owned historical spot. There is an old canal that doesn't seem big enough to move supplies. Interesting how things change. Lots of beautiful flowers, birds and sights. Got to witness a dragon fly swoop in and grab his lunch mid air. Thank you for the much needed moment of peace. God bless!!

Beautiful Experience.We were at the road exploring nearby attractions.And found this gem. Forsyth Park is the crown jewel of Savannah—a lush, 30-acre green space that perfectly captures the city’s historic charm and laid-back Southern vibe. Anchored by the stunning Forsyth Fountain, this park is shaded by towering oak trees draped in Spanish moss and offers a peaceful escape just steps from the hustle of downtown. Whether you’re out for a walk, letting kids burn energy on the playground, or browsing the local goods at the Saturday farmers’ market, there’s something for everyone. The paths are wide and stroller-friendly, and there’s even a charming café, The Collins Quarter, right in the park. It’s a favorite among both locals and visitors—and for good reason. Early mornings are especially magical, when the park is quieter and the light filters beautifully through the trees. If you’re in Savannah, Forsyth Park is an absolute must-visit.

We wish we would have researched our walk through the park a little better. Was sad to see the fountain was "out" being renovated. Reading the history on it was nice, though. The park, the trees , and the monuments were all amazing. It was hot hot hot. I recommend early or late in the day. We parked on Gaston. Pay meter. Bring quarters. ( We probably could have parked closer. )

If you come to Savannah, Georgia, Forsyth Park is a most see. Beautiful parks with older trees, a garden, and a fountain in the middle. Great place to enjoy an afternoon walk and is dog friendly.

Beautiful day, Hot. Unfortunately fountain being renovated, so no water. Beautiful park and we'll visited by families, couples etc. Local artisans selling their wares too.

I’m only giving this a one star review because the fountain is currently disassembled and being transported to Alabama for restoration. My wife and I got here today and read that it was disassembled last week. Very disappointed as this is a staple of the city. This park is a 5 star area hands down.

Absolutely beautiful! They have benches set up to enjoy the fountain. When we went, there were some art vendors set up!

Forsyth Park in Savannah, Georgia, is a true gem nestled in the historic district, just outside the bustling downtown area. My wife and I visited on a Sunday morning in August 2024 and were delighted by the ample street parking and angled lots around the park, all of which were free. This made it an excellent choice for an early morning weekend outing. Arriving early allowed us to enjoy the park without the usual daytime crowds, making for a peaceful and enjoyable walk. The fountain at Forsyth Park is nothing short of stunning. Its large, beautiful structure, adorned with gorgeous white statues, stands out as a centerpiece. The cleanliness and maintenance of the park were impressive, with meticulously organized paths, garbage-free walkways, and gleaming statues. The experience of walking through the park was enhanced by the overarching trees draped with moss, creating a picturesque and serene atmosphere. The park is also flanked by beautiful row houses, adding to its charm. We had the chance to meet some friendly locals and fellow visitors, making our visit even more enjoyable. Forsyth Park is an excellent spot for an early morning walk, providing a perfect blend of natural beauty, historical charm, and a welcoming community. My wife and I enjoyed our time here so much that we plan to return before our trip ends. If you're visiting Savannah, a morning visit to Forsyth Park is a must!

As others have said, this is a stunning, centrally located park with great tree canopy and beautiful landscaping.

Amazing place to walk and shop. it is very walkable and good place for pictures also. You will find all kind of souvenirs, clothes and more in here. It is a most visit place of Savanna. Highly recommended.

One of the original squares established in 1742. It is absent statues, monuments and memorials, but has many benches and large trees and the surrounding area consists of both residential and commercial. One of the Trustee lots is the Owens-Thomas house, an English Regency-style house museum, built in 1819,

It was an amazing place with so much history I now understand the meaning of "Don't let the bedbugs bite" This tree is what they used to stuff and make mattresses with ( Spanish Moss) it hangs from the trees and carries bedbugs.

A pretty square, with quite a few overnight rough sleepers and informal residents. No real panhandling though, which is nice.

A beautiful, modern, and relaxed resort!! Has everything so you do not need to leave the premises, very good bar, resturant and the main pool..definitely, i will be back..

We had a good time traveling here. Lovely place and I highly recommend to do some research to learn the stories and history in this place. We had a “ghost” tour in this square and it’s interesting.

The trolley tours are awesome with very knowledgeable and entertaining guides. The one guide was absolutely hilarious and you could tell he enjoyed what he does. He had us laughing the entire time. He has the authentic Georgia southern accent to set the tone of the entire tour. DA was the best trolley guide they have so they definitely need to hang on to him. We saw a lot of beautiful and historic sites. It was very enjoyable! Thanks DA!

We had the best time . It’s a great way to see the whole area and the ability to stop and get off when you want to. Deion was a great host . He was very funny and kept it entertaining for the crowd. We also had another driver and I can’t remember his name but he was also great. Was very upbeat and was singing to the crowd. They were both amazing. Definitely do this tour if in Savannah. You won’t regret it.

My boyfriend and I LOVED the hop on & hop off trolley! The drivers/tour guides were safe, so charming and informative. I recommend the Prohibition Museum and Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist. So fun seeing the Forest Gump filming spot. We would love to live in Savannah one day! 5/5 recommend especially if this is your first visit to the city. Trolleys arrive to each stop quickly - we didn’t wait too long at all.

Jared the trolley driver made this trip so excellent! He was informative, friendly and welcoming. It was a truly wonderful experience! Savannah is such a beautiful city and this is the way to see and learn about it. Highly recommended! Look for Jared.

I honestly had no desire to do this tour because I thought it was a tourist trap. However, the person I was traveling with really wanted to do it, so we did. It was honestly such a great tour! You learn so much history about the city and the buildings. You can also hop on and hop off as much as you'd like, which made it super convenient. We hopped on and off a lot so we had a lot of different drivers and all of them were amazing! If you're in Savannah, I definitely recommend doing this tour!

We took the Old Town Trolley Tour 8 years ago. We liked it so much that we decided to take it again. We had a fantastic time from 11AM to 5:30PM. We had three different drivers on 10/10/25. Ellis was our favorite as he provided us with a comprehensive, congenial history of the city as we traveled to 16 stops in 90+ minutes. He also recommended an excellent place for lunch, which we enjoyed. We also ate dinner there. We had perfect weather - sunny and cloudy, and no rain. It was cool as we rode from stop to stop. We went to every stop, and when it started over again, we got off at stop 10 to eat and shop. We walked to stop 11 and got on again. This time we got off at the Riverwalk. We shopped, and got back on, riding to stop 9 where our car was parked at the visitor center. There are two tours: 75 minute historical tour in an enclosed white bus and a 90 minute tour in an open air yellow bus with individual & different commentary by the driver you have. We have not tried the first one. We like being able to get on and off, and listening to different drivers' perspectives. The staff at each of the visitor centers housing the tour are friendly and knowledgeable. They gave us coupons with our map. Unfortunately we forgot to use them when we visited and shopped at five of the locations! Maybe you'll be more aware and remember to use them after your tour!

Beautiful day. Excellent tour. Lasted nearly 2 hours. The tour guide was excellent. We crisscrossed the entire town and saw very interesting places and things.

Pretty run-down park in an area that appears to have seen better days. There was a homeless encampment set up near the children's play equipment, which didn't inspire us to stay and play for a long time. Equipment itself was old and very dirty, and the park itself did not seem well maintained. Trash and debris were everywhere. Forsyth has a much nicer and better maintained playground for kiddos.

Alot of homeless with their dogs, which is always sort of sad. Not too many people there with well behaved dogs, lots of small barking ones trying g to pick a fight with my Dobie......decent park, my boy was just as happy to walk around the city than be there.

Just went to relax and enjoy the day, but this is a real nice place to take your dog. It was clean and also has a playground area for the dogs

Visited on my vacation, the park was extremely clean. Open space for kids and adults to do activities and play. The dog park section was also very clean and had two side of the park im assuming for big and small dogs. Your dog can only be off leash in the dog park area not on the open field park area.

Great lil hidden doggy park. Fenced and lengthy so your dogs can really run!!! Water is there too. Picnic table is also convenient to stay a while.

We live nearby and come here often! Great dog park with lots of space and covered seating. Locals are great and attentive to their pets. Nice washing area and fresh water. Will flood during rainy weather! Please keep this in mind if you dont want muddy pups!

My kid loved this playground. He made friends with three siblings who go there “every day” and they had a blast showing him around both playgrounds (the one for little kids and the one for bigger kids).

Truly not over hyped. Lovely space with beautiful live oaks and other greenery. It was so cool to walk around and see the culture and history all around. Perfect mix of nature and architecture.

A very nice little Park, good for weddings. It's surrounded on all sides by bushes, so the cars and traffic are much less noticeable than at the other parks.

Absolutely beautiful. My dog loved it.

Our favorite square. Our square. Our home. Absolutely the best. Chippewa is so overblown. We don’t need no statues. Just a bunch of old trees, quietude, and a stones throw from beautiful Jones St. Nothing compares!

A beautiful park, small but breathtaking. Take in all the parks by bike and it's a real treat.

All the squares in Savannah get 5 stars from me. Peaceful cool havens.

You will see a lot of squares here in Savannah, and most don't really look the same. This is one of them, and it was quiet when I came there, and just spend time seating and observing how things are going. I didn't really plan to be here. The square is a very pleasant place, and I had a pleasing experience being alone there. Lots of mature trees I noticed in this square.

This is one of the most BEAUTIFUL Squares in ALL of Savannah, and I recommend EVERY.SINGLE.PERSON. visit this spot at least once in their lifetime. If you are from the area, you may already be aware of this magical square. If you are visiting Savannah, this is such a special spot. The BEST times, during the day, is early in the morning during sunrise and in the evening during sunset. The best times, during the year, to visit the Square is April-June & late August - mid-October. At sunrise, go to the Gazebo and sit facing East... As the sun comes up, the rays start to bounce off the glass and gold around the city, and it shines all around you. The light glitters and shines, making it impossible for you to NOT start your day with a smile. In the evenings, as the sun goes down and the gazebo is starting to become shaded (in the summer), the fireflies will start to dance. They flutter all through the flowers and bushes surrounding the area, joining the butterflies that are always there. The rays of sunlight start to bounce off the glass and gold again. All together, it makes you feel as if you are experiencing a moment of true fairytale magic. (whether fairytale magic is real or not, you'll definitely feel like it is in that moment) And You won't be disappointed.❤️

This is a beautiful little square, so nice and peaceful. Whitefield Square is a great spot to take a relaxing stroll or some much needed chill time in the gazebo. Although its not exactly well lit at night it has always seemed like a pretty safe spot to me.

Beautiful square in the heart of downtown savannah. The gazebo is gorgeous and lots of people get married here. One con, lots of homeless hang out here but generally are nice and harmless.

I've officiated many weddings and elopement ceremonies there. I even had my very own small ceremony there in 2023. Very beautiful, clean and quiet square.

Beautiful place! My brother got married there.

I absolutely enjoy all the squares of Savannah. If you ever visit Whitefield Square and encounter Mr. Bernard, the local tour guide and historian, listen to him intently, he has so much history and knowledge, specifically about Savannah, to share.

it's as pretty as the pictures and a great place for gener reveals!

i have always loved coming to this park since childhood. perfect for hanging out with friends and family, skating, playing sports, and all!

Great park to run, relax, watch the ducks and squirrels!

Very social geese Great loop to walk around and a pretty lake

A Very nice community park with so many things to enjoy in the outdoors. It is connected by miles of bike path to derenne ave and further. Walking, jogging, skateboarding, tennis, sailing, canoeing, paddling, fishing, RC car racing, volleyball, and even roller hockey which I enjoyed playing there for over 20 years!

Awesome place. Always clean and neat. Never dirty and well manicured property. Everything from a skatepark to tennis and basketball courts (with hoops!) and even an RC Car track that attracts attention from all over the southeast. There's a 1.5 mile circular trail that has Assorted work out stations along the way that let you do pull ups and inclined push-ups and sit ups and stuff... I personally ride my Onewheel all over the place and love this place. It connects to the Savannah bike and walking trail. +1.

I came to savannah to work for a few days and I got off Tuesday evening and went to lake Mayer park. I caught 2 nice bass and missed 2 more. I saw a awesome sunset and a couple deer feeding on the creek. This place is a gem in the middle of town.

Favorite place to walk around and enjoy the weather

Wanted to do the ghost tours for a long time. Wife and I came for a weekend trip she planned and decided to do a tour. We booked the Sorrel-Weed tour because we wanted to see the house as much as hearing the ghost tales, plus it was walking distance from where we were staying. Our original booking was changed to another slot for some reason but it worked out for us so no worries. There were about 12 other people on the tour. A little crowded but not bad. Our tour guide, Luna, was great; genuine and invested in the history, including her own stories. Wasn't the over the top acting we witnessed walking around the outside with other tour groups. Disappointed that the upstairs was not ready for touring but gives us something to come back to. The staging of the house was nice and darkened for atmosphere, of course. Wife had an auditory experience that I did not hear. Will mark this for a repeat trip. Well worth making it something to do on a night out.

We did the paranormal night tour and it was great. Our tour guide was beyond knowledgeable and never rushed us. The equipment was unique and the couple we got paired with were so much fun. Highly recommend.

My husband and I went on the tour on July 1st. It was a great ghost/historical tour! I took several pictures out the window to the garden. If you look at the pictures in order you will notice a lady walking in the garden! She looks like she has a ponytail and wearing a blue and white dress. I took the pictures with live on so I can actually see her walking!!!

What a wonderful yet spooky experience!! Nora was the best tour guide! She was thorough with explaining the history and I liked how she gave the possible theories that are rumored to be the explanations of how things happened. Ny son has been researching this place for months he was so excited. Nora answered any questions that came up. She even offered to send a link to any creepy footage any guests encountered while on the tour. I will say....the hooded man's breezeway.....my son didnt see him in the breezeway but he did see him in the first floor foyer! It was funny to see the outside walking tours as we were walking up the steps to start the tour and the guides were saying "This is the Sorrel house, and look those are braver souls than I". She also goves you some extra time on each floor to explor a bit and take photos, no flash to preserve the arsuch of course. Highly recommend!!

Great place if you love historical events and hauntings. I have been a paranormal investigator for 25 years and this place is haunted. But I was overcharged from the original fee and wasn't told half the house is being renovated. I putting up the ghost pictures.

Came here for a dark history/ghost tour which unfortunately was quite underwhelming. Our guide was friendly, but I was hoping the tour would be more historic. I missed the good storytelling and historic facts, it felt more like a sleepover in middle school were you try to tell each other scary stories. I assume the historic tour of the house would havr been a better choice

This was a fascinating look into savanah's history and the sorrel and weed families. We really liked the tour guide. He was personable and even answered the million questions from the one kid that didn't know when to zip the lip (there's always 1) :) You should definitely go here and take the tour. The tours run on the hour till 4pm.

Colonial Park Cemetery is one of the most fascinating places I visited in Savannah! During the day, it’s a peaceful and historic site that gives you a deep sense of the city’s past — the old tombstones and moss-covered trees create a quiet, reflective atmosphere. But at night, it transforms into something else entirely! I did a haunted walking tour that included the cemetery, and it was such a thrilling experience. The stories, the legends, and the eerie atmosphere after dark made it unforgettable. You can really feel the history (and maybe a few ghosts 👻) around every corner. Highly recommended if you enjoy history, mystery, and a little bit of spooky fun!

I was actually disappointed at the state of this cemetery. The grounds are well taken care of as far as the grass, but the graves are in major disrepair and you can't read a lot of them. And it seemed actually pretty barren as far as the headstones. I'm assuming some have been removed, moved, etc. I also didn't like how you could only exit out of two places even though there are obvious places fates used to be open in the past. Maybe this is a place better to visit at dusk or night to get the full effect but still be respectful.

We met our ghost tour guide at the entrance with the eagle. Sadly we didn't get a tour of the cemetery. I wish we had. We did get there a few minutes early and was able to walk through part of it. Very old headstones. Some faded from over a 150 years of time and the elements and who knows what else. 👻 Next time in Savannah we will get the tour.

A unique walk through history with its peaceful nature and lush foliage. This was truly one of a kind experience on a beautiful day in Savannah.

Beautiful cemetery; the walking path, trees and cemetery stones are perfect. It's peaceful and reflective as you pass through.

Epic cemetery with so much history. Make sure to check out the old stones along the back wall.

Very well kept and a cool place to just wonder around.

There were so many informative displays and even a film being shown in a theater. We learned so much in one visit. The staff were wonderful and took time to fully answer any questions we had. I didn't know the park bench from the Forest Gump movie was here.

My husband loves history and so do I so when we visited Savannah we definitely wanted to make sure we visited this museum. There was a man dress as a soldier who was extremely informative of the war and everything that happened with the history of Savannah as well as a theater set up with a movie to watch about the history as well. The museum is handicap accessible, which is really nice.

Novel museum ! They have the actual bench from the Forest Gump movie. Also, they have a great section on Julia Gordon Lowe. You can cover the museum in about 45 minutes to an hour. Great local history information.

Museum is small and displays many historic feats by the army. If you are into history you would enjoy reading them.

Nice museum in an old transportation center. Well laid out exhibits. Like a walk through the centuries, with explanations, all self guided. Lovely extra exhibit room on Girl Scouts history. Also a Jazz exhibit. Not sure if that was permanent. All non profit, so we did not mind paying to get in.

This museum provides a good overview of the history of Savannah, from pre-Columbian times through the Jazz era. It helps you get your bearings and appreciate local attractions. Interactive exhibits for the kids. Nice gift shop as well. Parking at the visitor center. Location of the actual Forest Gump park bench.

Lots of history located inside including a jazz history section and a historical movie playing. The entrance was a bit confusing as it’s just the back of the visitors center and leads into the visitors center where there are three gift shops, one in the history museum, one in the visitors center, and one in between.

One of the more quiet squares in Savannah and one of the few with a fountain. .Nice place to sit and have a coffee, watch the tourists, or listen to the fountain. Follow me...

Such a beautiful square! It is so peaceful to spend time here. Loved the fountain they have. Close to many other places to visit and things to do, such as the cathedral of St. John the Baptist.

The square is quite lovely I take my dog here every other day between Lafayette Square and Calhoun Square behind where we live. The fountain is absolutely beautiful!

One of many (22) historic squares. Offers a nice fountain and beautiful view of some great architecture including the Basilica and of course plenty of shade trees.

Beautiful square with a lot of historical architecture around it to check out. The fountain is very pretty and there is an amazing view of the cathedral. It’s also very shaded and a nice place for photos.

First square we've seen so far on our visit. And the cathedral across the street is stunning!

What a great area to visit! So much history...Savannah feels to me like New Orleans lite...if you visit GA and don't go to Savannah...shame on you!

We had great fun! Everyone went above and beyond to make sure the experience was the best thing ever. It was so hot, make sure you bring sunscreen and drink lots of water if you're there for a day game like we were!

Absolutely gorgeous old school baseball stadium. Came here for the Savannah Bananas Team Store and then checked out the field. Such a cool experience, nice to see how they keep it modern yet has those 'golden era' touches to a baseball field. The team store itself is small and may be limited to your size but it's cool it's open for fans to come by and purchase items, the staff was super friendly and chill. Overall great experience!

I had the pleasure of enjoying a Savannah Bananas game for my birthday. I got my tickets after market but the event is fun for all ages & with all it included it's a good price even after market. Their games are very crowd interactive & even in this GA heat when the sun starts to go down it's very nice. I recommend coming early both for parking & concessions before the game. The staff is all super nice & helpful. There's several food & drink options burgers, hot dogs, snacks, and drinks ( water, soda, beer) all included with your ticket. I highly recommend enjoying a day at the park!

We had a fun time at the stadium watching Banana ball. The staff and players were very accommodating during the rain delay, and everyone provided a terrific family-friendly atmosphere.

Home of the savannah bananas, the stadium is over one hundred years old.Cool place to be at, the bananas put on a great show.They have a pre game, a regular show.And a post game, when the bananas are playing, it's free food, easy to get to and it was just a great experience

The banana ball game was such an amazing and fun experience! The fan-centered atmosphere is incredible. Even during a 2-hour weather delay, the teams kept us engaged and entertained. Also, having several food and drink options included in the price of the ticket makes this an affordable and fun option.

Visited the gift store and enjoyed the variety of merchandise. Especially the items only available while visiting the stadium.

Wow...where to even begin. We had our wedding at the Coastal Georgia Botanical Gardens and Bamboo Farm. We had to put this together in just a few short months due to my mother's declining health. When I called to get everything scheduled, I met the most wonderful and professional coordinator, Kahlita. She assisted us beyond words can express. She helped us with vendors and found the perfect date. She was attentive and went above anything I could ever ask in someone to help us. Once time came closer, I had the pleasure to meet Mr. Greene. He already knew the floor plan we had drafted before we even met with him. You can tell that they have been doing this for a long time and were very experienced! We noticed other office staff assisting with the venue set up along with security services. They are a very cohesive team, and they will do anything to not only help you- but help each other. The venue was just so beautiful. It was truly extraordinary. The gardens created a peaceful place for us and our guests. We held our ceremony in a courtyard under white arches with wisteria vines and a lake behind us. Our aisle was a brick path way through maze hedges leading through perfect green grass. It created a breathtaking first view of my new husband. We had our reception inside that comfortably sat all of our guests. We were provided all of the tables and chairs that we needed. We had ample room for our first dance and family speeches. Not to mention, there was even a large covered patio to have a whole dance floor and bar services! I highly recommend Alana with AB Mobile Bar Services, who was recommended by the venue. Alana assisted with so much more than bar services. She connected with our guests (and even decorated their set up with our theme and colors). There was more room and space that created a journey for everyone attending. Throughout the night, Kahlita and the staff made sure we had everything, and they made our day so seamless. I never felt pressured or stressed with them by my side. Thank you so much for everything you did for us. You gave us the most beautiful wedding we could have ever dreamed of. It far exceeded any expectation. We love you with all of our heart and soul. You created the foundation of our marriage by giving us this day ❤️

Very great place to walk around in! Not too hot and earlier in the summer it was more in bloom. Some shaded areas and lots of exotic plants to see

Such a beautiful place to spend any part of the day! The garden, grounds and educational areas were all so wonderful! Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Honestly could've spent the day here just basking in the beauty! We will be back in the fall to see what's changed!

absolutely gorgeous and massive!! immediately fell in love with this place -- please go if you're in the area!

Took my son today to go check it out. Tickets were $5 for adults, kids six and up $3, my son got in free since he is 4. We loved seeing the all the iris flowers. We enjoyed seeing so many kinds of flowers and the bamboo maze. We didn't get to see all of the garden, it was hot so we will have to come back another time to see the rest. Make sure to wear good shoes, the walkways are not paved.

Lots of acreage full of beautiful greens, flowers, trees, etc. There's even a bamboo maze!

Just enjoyed the 2024 version of their holiday lights. We have been several times incl. a drive-thru version during COVID. This was by far the most impressive venture yet. Well worth the time.

Another beautiful park in Savannah Georgia. The monument in the middle is a big shout out to Sergeant Jasper. Lots of good information on plaque in the park. Tell you about the history of this area. Very clean and neat Park with plenty of places to sit. Can get pretty busy due to all the tours going through it

What a great place to stay and walk the sea front. Most everything we did was walking around and enjoying the wonderful views and people. You can't go wrong with the restaurant with a view. Amazing

This is one of the beautiful squares in Savannah. Great to sit and relax, watch historic buildings around, take a stroll.

One of the many squares I enjoyed walking through in Savannah.

Savannah is too full of history, beautiful parks, squares, plaques, monuments and restored, historic homes. I admit that I had never heard of Sgt. Jesper and enjoyed reading about his exploits documented here on plaques, interpretive signs and the centerpiece monument. I was torn, as a Southerner by birth, to get excited at noting Sherman's HQ and the plaque on his March to the Sea---fascinating all.

One of Savannah's prettiest, most historic squares! Don't miss this one! General Lee HQ is here. Pleasant, plenty of shade. A beautiful place to go back in time + contemplate!

Gorgeous and historic part of town. Take a horse buggy ride to enjoy the sights.

The Book Lady Bookstore is a charming, cozy gem in Savannah. It has a warm and comfortable atmosphere, making it the perfect place to browse for hours. The selection is diverse, with everything from rare finds to well-loved classics, and the space itself feels like a book lover’s dream. Whether you’re hunting for something specific or just want to wander through the shelves, this independent bookstore is a must-visit. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to curl up with a good book and stay awhile.

What a unique and charming bookstore! The Book Lady Bookstore is a must-visit for any book lover. From the moment you step inside, you’re surrounded by the cozy atmosphere of stacked books, unique finds, and even a friendly bookstore cat. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful, and they create a welcoming environment for browsing and discovering new treasures. It’s the kind of place where you could spend hours exploring different sections and finding unexpected gems. I love supporting local, independent bookstores like this one!

Staff was incredible. Selection is beyond impressive. What a bookstore should be. Favorite part was the puppy that was snuggled on the couch tho. 🤍📚 (just wish they had merch)

Will definitely be visiting again! Well priced books and organized sections! I visited on the weekend of Juneteenth and picked up a few gems!

Great spot to look for books. All kinds and at least small selection of everything. Is good to just browse and see. Still a very good collection and they have some interesting rare/collector books.

I was exited to find this place, It’s really cute they had some good books. The store is really small so if you don’t like tight places you might feel uncomfortable. Also the employees made us feel unwelcome, no “welcome in”, or a can I help you. You could feel when in the store that they didn’t want you there… Maybe something happened or I came in on the wrong day…

My favorite used book store! I would go there all the time in college, and go back every time I'm in town. Very unique and beautiful finds!

I really enjoyed exploring the gardens, it looks like there needs to be some work done on it. Also, the house was not open when I went in the middle of the day on a weekday. I would love to see some improvements in the decorations and presentation of the flowers. There needs to be some tables under the gazebo by the water and a way to take selfies easier throughout the garden.

Absolutely gorgeous place. Got some good shots here too. Would love to visit when all the plants are in bloom / on a drier day, but it was a very charming spot regardless. Highly recommend for those that wish to appreciate this humble garden!

It’s a beautiful place. They have a children’s garden. I guess we’re kids playing a different kind of crops. There’s trails in the back through the woods. And lots of really cool things to look at.

It was a smaller but well maintained garden. We visited when the camellias were not in bloom but would like to visit again when they are. They had a nice are for children to explore as well as a charming library in the historical house on the grounds. It is by appointment or if by chance someone is in the grounds for a tour of the historical home and library.

This was significantly smaller and less impressive than I was expecting. Nothing was in bloom. I wonder if it is cared for by the college only when school is in session because it felt a bit neglected. The one bright side was the children's garden that ad several cute and fun centers for kids to learn and play with Also there was no one there to take payment

Beautiful spot. Not too small, not too big. Plenty of nooks and crannies to explore. I encountered a huge golden silk orb weaver during my visit.

Amazing little botanical garden. The lady there was super informative and showed us around a little. Its not a massive garden by any means but it is beautiful and the volunteers that run it do fantastic work.

This kinds of get lost amidst the plethora of similar parks. It a good place to walk and lined with trees. As with other square’s there is a haunted spooky house at the corner. Just a walk from the square is 1710 inn which has its own ghost history.

Columbia Square will always hold a special place in my heart. It’s where I got engaged to my wife. Tucked away in Savannah’s historic district, it’s one of the more peaceful and quiet squares, offering a perfect spot to slow down and take in the charm of the city. The simple fountain at its center adds just the right touch of elegance, surrounded by moss-draped oaks and shaded benches. It’s not flashy or crowded, but that’s what makes it special. There’s a sense of calm and timelessness here that makes it ideal for a quiet moment or a life-changing one. A beautiful, understated gem worth visiting and remembering.

Cool historic area of town, definitely made the trip to the way coast interesting. It's great to see this stuff kept up.

Awesome place and great history! Very pretty

I took the NOGS tour today that took me through Columbia Square. Beautiful and restful square!

Off the normal path of tourism with the sounds of a fountain and Cathedral of St. John the Baptist bells. Lovely to sit and relax.

beautiful place to see

My husband and I did an afternoon riverboat cruise with our 9 month old. It was a lot of fun, very relaxing way to just take a break from exploring on foot and spend 90 minutes learning more about the area and the river. The boat is really cool and feels like a novelty to be on. We got a couple of drinks that weren't anything special but they were strong, so can’t complain. The guide over the speaker was nice and informative, definitely entertaining. The rest of the staff were also very friendly and helpful, everyone was in a good mood. We did have a stroller with us so we were able to make it to the 3rd floor only by elevator, the top deck was pretty inaccessible unless we took everything out and folded it up to carry it. So I’d say the top deck isn’t very accessible for wheelchairs or families with strollers, just something to think about. The photos taken were a sweet and easy souvenir! I’d say you have to do this at least once!

Went on the dinner cruise, 2 hours 7pm to 9pm. Got seated had buffet chicken, prime rib & fish, veggies, potatoes, salad, rolls & desert. Drinks were good, waitress got everything we needed. Music on deck 2 was great, all that & the price was right. would recommend 100%.

Really fun cruise. Lunch was good, lots of southern staples. Staff were all terrific. Huge ship to explore, lots of great views and very informative facts while sailing. Full bar if you wanna by drinks. Definitely worth it.

We had such an awesome experience on the Riverboat Cruize. Such a fun way to relax and learn about the area and even some fun facts about the boat itself. We went on the scenic cruise so I can't speak for the food other than their drinks and ice cream, both of which we really enjoyed. If you are visiting Savannah I highly recommend doing this. We also coupled this with the Trolley tour and learned so much about the area between the 2 different experiences.

This is a must experience while in Savannah. I enjoyed the 330 cruise. Capt Z gives a great narration of the surrounding buildings and history. Capt Z is an absolute delight to listen to. It was a ninety minute cruise. You can purchase food, alcoholic beverages, ice cream, etc. You can walk around the ship during the cruise and enjoy the scenic views from the river. The third floor is air conditioned if you need to escape from the heat. There is plenty of seating. I included pictures for your reference.

Ah such a fun spot to play tourist! We did the dinner cruise and it was an experience! Fun band, decent food and the drink menu was pretty basic. Our Server, Radika, was such a sweetheart! We didn't know that they have different live music styles, so that would have maybe changed the night we went, but overall a must-do for a tourist! We do wish the website or table tent relayed information about the fact that gratuities were not included! We found that out after we ate so as industry people we were a little bummed! Got to take care of your people!

I went in the sunset cruise with a large group. This was my first experience on a cruise because I get extremely motion sick in cars and on planes. Once I moved from inside of the third floor up to the open fourth floor my body regulated from seeing the open water and feeling the strong breeze blowing through my curls. I wasn’t motion sick any of the two hours and had an absolute blast. Between our large group and the other passengers being totally fun we all enjoyed dancing hard, laughing hard, chatting, and completely enjoying ourselves while making unforgettable memories. The views of Savannah at night from the river were beautiful. The sunset was absolutely perfect… The only negative was the food. It was overly seasoned and not the best. There looked to only be one cook for the entire boat. The food is a pass. Have dinner on the shore.

Named in honor of General Andrew Jackson's victory at the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812, this Historic Square was established in 1815. Featured is the German Memorial Fountain, dedicated to Germany immigrants who played a significant role in the development of Savannah.

The Orleans Square is so beautiful and relaxing. I love the fountain and the squirrels are so cute.

When I visited Orleans Square in Savannah, it felt like a quiet, hidden spot in the middle of the city. The fountain in the center was gently flowing, and the big oak trees with Spanish moss made it really beautiful. I sat on a bench for a while, just enjoying the peaceful feeling and watching people walk by. The old houses around the square, like the Harper Fowlkes House, made it feel even more special. It was a nice, calm place to relax and enjoy Savannah’s charm

Orleans Square was one of our favorite squares in Savannah. We visited twenty-two squares while in town and found ourselves returning to Orleans. The square is a nice size, has benches, and a beautiful fountain in the center.

I can't even tell you how beautiful the 22 squares are in Savannah. Orleans was one of my favorites with the big fountain and incredible Spanish moss! It was the best afternoon ever walking through all the squares!

Lovely square in the heart of Savannah’s historic district

Great photo opt. Turned the fountain Green for St. Patrick's Day Celebration. Cool and shady when the temperature rose to 80°.

Aside from being one of the ugliest parks in the city, this square feels dangerous with beggars and addicts all day and drunks all night. Savannah might look nice but places like this remind you that the city is in a sorry state.

What to say about Wllis Square? Great square with visitor center, benches and in front of many restaurants and bars and shops. Good for great pictures and sitting around. City government isn't playing around, and they require masks! It's great!

We had a blast people-watching while the kids ran through the fountains! Bustling little area of the city...very different vibe than some of the older, gardened squares.

Grab a drink, some candy, or ice cream and find a chair. Excellent people watching. Don't forget to visit Johnny Mercer.

Great hangout spot... great house music... everyone was having fun! Follow MixMasterHak on Twitch and all social media 🎛️🎧🎵🎶

Full of life! Green grass, beautiful blue skies. Hreatbplace to bring your families and dogs.

I call it the “clean New Orleans” because you can bar hop with your drinks in hand! Savannah is absolutely beautiful as well, just an added benefit!

This is a beautiful park with a lot to do. My kids love the playground. Tennis courts and a lake area. The park has a trash problem. Littering at a children's park is low, and others looking at it is almost as bad. Besides the trash the park is very pretty.

I visit this park very often - weekly to be exact. There is a walking/running trail that surrounds the park area, giving beautiful panoramic views of the water and park area while you exercise. There are places designated along the walking/running path that prompt you to stretch, adding to your exercise experience. There are also building spaces you can rent for special gatherings and celebrations. I personally have attended a family gathering there. I often take my daughter (who skateboards) to enjoy the designated skating. It's a great place for her to connect and learn from other skaters. If you enjoy tennis or pickle ball, they have that too! Outside of day to day normal functions, this park hosts special events for the community as well. If you are looking for a nice family-friendly space, I highly recommend giving this park a try.

Thanks to Chatham County and Phil Hurd for giving my Son and I a place where we can spend quality time together and meet new Friends and Family with the oldest running RC track ever.

Beautiful lake , enjoyed fishing with our grandson

It is a beautiful place to unwind and get some exercise. During sundown it becomes like an enchanted fairytale with all the different colors, especially during fall when the trees display all of their beautiful shades. It is always clean and I've always felt safe there, no matter what time of the day

The lake is beautiful but unfortunately the trail around the lake is not dogfriendly. A nice employee driving in a golf cart informed me of that, and told me where the dog area is. The dog section of the park is a nice grassy area. I was visiting in the area. It is disappointing that I can't walk the trail with my dogs even though I do respect their policy.

Always kept clean and neat. Never have I EVER seen trouble of any sort here. There's a skate park, tennis courts, go anywhere and fish, put a boat in , sail, play basketball., you name it. There's even an RC car racetrack that attracts people from all over the state. The 1.5 mile walking track around the lake is super nice and has little workout areas for inclined push-ups and pull-ups and stuff alond the way... I ride my Onewheel all over the place although I don't think they allow fast motorized vehicles cutting the place up... Always secure and well lit. The workers that I do see at Lake Mayer are ALWAYS super nice and polite and always speak. The park is clean and neat and always available for a big family outing... Highly recommended.

We stumbled across this park. Only one other vehicle was on the grounds. Beautiful view of the water. Quiet and clean. A few interesting trees. It would be awesome if there were to slow boon-docking for campers .

Good 0.8 mile path around a pond. Asphalt paved trail for jogging,walking,or hiking. Dog and stroller friendly. There are also restrooms on site. Not overly scenic. There are a myriad of low level wildflowers if you take the time to admire them.

Perfect peaceful park for morning/ Evening walk ......it is clean and sufficient parking space . It also has some activities for kids. so kid can also enjoy with parents. Free book for visitors at the entrance gate is another unique feature of the park.. It has sufficient rest benches and drinking water facility . If you Are in Savannah try to visit this place

Very nice park with a lot of wildlife. Has a playground for the kids, a paved track around the park that circles an island that has herons often times deer.

I felt it is a good place to eat your lunch and has a little park for kids to play. Loved the lake and ducks and so did my kids. I also have never seen a tiny library which I thought was cute and a neat idea. I took a few book for my road trip. Beware if allergic though, people can bring dogs to walk around.

A little gem in the Southside of Savannah! They have a walking trail and a bike trail. Took the kids to the walk around the pond and trail behind the trees. They loved feeding the ducks and geese. They ended off the day playing on the playground. Definitely recommend checking out.

Really beautiful lake and park! The walk was a little over 1/2 a mile. The pavement was very clean. Playground and fishing dock.

Pickleball/tennis/basketball players: there are new multi-million dollar covered and lighted courts in the middle of nowhere about 15 minutes from Berwick off Little Neck Road in this dilapidated park undergoing renovation. Playground and restrooms are closed. Roads need repaving. There is no signage but if you drive to the very back you will find a nice 1-mile walking trail around a lake. Pictures in prior reviews are outdated.

This is one of my favorite places to escape the hustle and bustle of Savannah Georgia It is a quiet Park not often busy and it has a mile long walking loop. Unfortunately the loop itself isn't kind of rough shape. They installed beautiful beautiful lamp posts But now half of them don't work And around the lake the mile-long paved trail goes. But the problem with the pavement is all heaved and cracked. I often run there and ride my bike. I'll do several loops just to wear out my dog But I will admit it's very difficult to navigate 🙌 So here's a fantastic update I've talked to a young gentleman by the name of Elmo He works on the grounds And I really want to give him and his co-workers and boss a high five. Elmo has talked about his passion to keep the park clean and really cares about his position and the park I was so impressed when I talked to him the other day for quite a while with my sister and my mother and he really listened to our concerns about the lamp posts and the walking trail I've also noticed a great improvement the garbage is picked up now it's very tidy they just cut the grass on the other side where it's been closed for quite a while and it looks fantastic The park is really looking so much better I even asked who did all the edging because the sidewalks are being edged now and almost says that they are starting to do all of that He said the two buildings that they're putting up is for racquetball and tennis and one is for a basketball court I just want to thank the crew for doing such a great job and I hope the boss recognizes Elmo for his genuine care and outstanding work I know he works with his boss and some others and they all do a great job but I really appreciate it Elmo being so kind and taking the time to listen to our concerns and talk to us he represents the park in a very positive way

Once you get around the roundabout the road becomes full of potholes or very uneven spots. The playground is not only in the woods it's boarded up. (It was when i came a few months ago when i 1st moved into the area not sure if its still boarded up now because i was not about to walk into the woods to see). I haven't walked the trails so I can't say what they look like. There is a garden but I'm not sure why. There isn't a sign to say why it's there. This could easily be a nice park like the one in bloomingdale over by the warehouse but for unknown reason it's not.

Was there today for a walk on the trail. We were able to walk, but there's still renovations being done. It will be marvelous once completed

The park was a wreck. Bathrooms were padlocked. No access to lake and the trail was not maintained. A total waste of time.

nice little park with a paved trail around a cute lake. great for an easy nature hike.

If it rains, don’t expect to play baseball anytime soon. They should rename the complex, “The Ponds” if they don’t expect to maintain them over the years. All the infields need clay because they all hold water. See pictures.

The children I took were excited to get out and play.

Not a place for kids or families, homeless and gangs hang out 24/7 moved here 3 months ago and not single day I've drove by have I seen kids there.

I LOVE WELS PARK I SEE AND NOTICE THE BUILDINGS AROUND THE INNER CITY in THIS AREA BEING GENTRAFIED I worked on a contract to build help build the next police precinct on 34th and Montgomery IM RASTAFAI ONE LOVE People Love Savannah because of The Natives Wells Park is Commerative Like WoodStalk We All Vibe on One account It's Inner G We Eenrgy We Coexist to Show The World We Can Be cause U And I Am Love

This is such a great park! Lots of playground equipment, as well as a basketball court, benches, and open space for kids to play. And located in a neighborhood with a lot of love and heart<3 I would love to see Google recognize it as green space on the map - it's been a park for over a century!

Went to get my car washed, not bad but tires could've used some love

Awesome 38th/39th Street Neighborhood Reunion!

It was raining on the day I visited. Yet I liked how close it is to my house and McDonald's is just a walk away.

We traveled here for a 12u Baseball tournament this weekend. It is the worst complex we have ever been to, and we travel extensively for baseball. There is no pavilion, no shade, no concession, and only portable toilets. The toilets are up-wind from the fields so you are constantly smelling sewage during the games. It's a coastal wind so it never changes direction. There is absolutely no relief from the 90+ degree temperatures other than the sewage breeze. I do not recommend playing here.

A nice field to play soccer / football at. I dont think its exactly "public" but people jump the gate all the time to play if the gate is locked at that time, its no big deal. After it rains the soccer field is actually pretty awful puddles wise but its a nice field overall.

Worst soccer I have ever played on. Uneven at the goals and covered in mud puddles. Lights went out in the middle of our game. Would recommend any other venue.

Come on over and watch the game. Great ball games good food and snacks from the concessions. Y'all come on out and spend the evening with us the kids would love to see you all. Come out and support the ball players

Good park, bathrooms leave a bit to be desired. Bugs are awful but that comes with the area of the park so bring bug spray!!

Game night on Wilmington Island. Four games going on at the same time. My daughter is taking selfies instead of watching the action 🤔

Field well maintained, a fair amount of games played all due respect to Covid👍👍👍
