We enjoyed walking through the park and the different areas in the park. It is quiet even though you are in the city. Plus it is within walking distance to a lot of other places.

We walked through here to see some sights. We enjoyed the fountain and took plenty of photos here. Plenty of opportunity to people watch here.

This is perhaps the most famous and iconic park in Savannah and well worth a visit. The fountain is wonderful and the space is lovely.

Beautiful park with lots of wide sidewalks for stroll. Fountain was lovely. We went twice - once during the day then again at night. Great experience both times!

We had our wedding a block away at the Gastonian. All of our guests visited Forsyth and it was their favorite spot.

It's a beautiful Park.. but like all of the Squares and Parks in the historic district... It needs a total restoration. I don't know what the politics are in Savannah, but it is not the Savannah of years past. The streets are not clean, most residences need work, the squares are starting to look run down. Plus homeless sitting on all the benches is not what one expects.

Had a nice Christmas walk through the park. The fountain looked amazing with the decorations and the water flowing through areas that had frozen over! This park, amongst many others within the historic district, are quite pleasant to stroll through. It would be good to come back in the spring, with everything in bloom.

Great park to walk thru with the Spanish moss hanging from the trees. There are statues and a fountain in the middle. Parking was relatively easy to find. Great for spending the afternoon outdoors.

Great place to stroll, take pictures at all hours of the day. Sunrise, sunset and in the middle of the day. Lots of people getting married on a good day.

Hi! I want to run in this park early in the morning around 6 am or 7 am while it is still dark by myself on a upcoming trip. I am a 30 yr old female/ is it safe to do that?

we were there in the middle of the day, and there were plenty of unsavory characters around. dont do it, to be safe.
Can you have a small birthday party there free? 10 or less

I'd contact the City to confirm however I suspect that a small party gathering would be fine. Have fun!

I notice some mention quite a bit of criminal activity. Mace is available for about $20, do many visitors carry it?

I guess I disagree with this statement. We live here and walk the park all day and night.
It is like any city, don’t be stupid. Take care to walk in the lights. Be polite if someone approaches. Our folks here are very kind and understanding that people might give some change if they have it but most wont.
BUT, as for CRIME.....wrong city. Forsyth Park is patrolled day and night.
Who ever made this statement should be ashamed of themselves.

Do you recommend carrying mace? We are planning a March trip.

We were super save there with 2 small kids .. Stay in the well populated areas. We even staid in a more run down area and we gad no issues whatsoever. Felt super safe ... just be a nice respectful visitor and I am sure thus place is a southern gem.

When do they turn on the sprinklers at the main stage?

The splash pool usually gets turned on in mid to late June. There are also splash sprinklers at City Market
