Parks

The parks and recreational facilities in Savannah are diverse and cater to every age and interest.

The force behind the beautiful parks and particularly the squares in Savannah is its founder Oglethorpe. Over the years, the city has carefully nurtured and protected his noble vision and ideals while respecting his dedication towards foreseeing what Savannah should be a centuries after it was established.

Forsyth Park, Colonial Park, and Emmet Park lead the pack of a large number of small, medium and large parks in Savannah. Ardsely Park is a more modern addition to this long list of Savanna Parks and is considered the most beautiful among all the parks. Forsyth Park is a large facility with a wide range of entertainment and recreation facilities. At the Emmet Park you will not only enjoy the park facilities but also the enchanting view of the Savanna River.
