Well, you've seen the famous fountain on all the post cards. This is located in Forsyth Park. Also, VERY pet friendly place, and they recently updated the amphitheatre. In the summer, check out the farmers market on the weekends

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

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