Description

If you need a quick rest while walking through the downtown district of Savannah, take a stroll through Forsyth Park. The town green--known as the city's central park--was created in the 18th century to showcase the city's wealth and prosperity. The park has noticeable European flair because it was inspired by city parks in Paris, specifically the Place de la Concorde. With 30 acres of greenery, visitors have plenty of space for a secluded picnic, a peaceful nap, or a quiet game of chess. The Forsyth Fountain, in the center of the park, will supply the background noise for your stroll and the draping moss from the picturesque oaks provide shade in the hot afternoons.
