Forsyth Park
A large park at the southern end of the historic district, where the white cast-iron fountain is Savannah's most classic postcard view.
Forsyth Park covers about 30 acres and was laid out in the 1840s. The white cast-iron fountain at its northern end was built in 1858, and every St. Patrick's Day its water is dyed green. Oak trees shade the park, draped in Spanish moss. The southern part has a Confederate Monument, a fragrance garden and lawns. On weekends you'll often find farmers' markets, concerts and crowds picnicking. It is open free of charge all day. You can walk from Bull Street through the squares to reach it, and early morning and evening light is best for photos.
