Forsyth Park
Savannah's most beloved public park — 30 acres of Spanish-moss-draped live oaks centered on the city's iconic white iron fountain.
Forsyth Park is the centerpiece of Savannah's park system and one of the most beautiful public spaces in the American South. The 30-acre park was laid out in 1851 and is famous for its spectacular cast-iron fountain, installed in 1858, which has become the city's most photographed landmark. The park is flanked by grand antebellum mansions and lined with majestic live oaks draped in Spanish moss. It hosts the Forsyth Farmers' Market on Saturday mornings and numerous festivals throughout the year.
