Best Parks in Savannah
Savannah, Georgia — updated August 22, 2026
Five Savannah green spaces, from the city's most-reviewed park to a neighborhood playground with barely any ratings at all, with hours and what sits at the edges.
Listings verified
Savannah's public green space splits into two kinds: the small downtown squares that break up the grid every few blocks, and the larger parks and historic sites that ask for a walk or a drive. The City of Savannah keeps an alphabetical list of its parks and playgrounds, which is how the smaller neighborhood spaces below turn up at all. Ratings here range from nearly 20,000 reviews to a few dozen, so read the counts as evidence of how settled each verdict is.
1. Forsyth Park
The default answer, and the one with the most evidence behind it: 4.8 across more than 19,000 reviews, far more than anything else on this list. It is also the park with the most going on around it. The Forsyth Farmers' Market runs every Saturday from 9 AM to 1 PM, 52 weeks a year, with produce, meats and made goods from growers across the Coastal Empire and Low Country. The Collins Quarter's Forsyth location serves Tuesday through Thursday 9:00 am to 3:00 pm and Friday through Monday from 8:00 am, with food service to 3:00 pm and beverage to 4:00 pm. A natural foods store with a to-go juice window and the Sentient Bean, a coffee and pastry spot, sit nearby.
2. Chippewa Square
The best single argument for Savannah's squares as parks rather than traffic islands, with a 4.7 across more than 5,100 reviews, a large sample for a downtown square. It sits in the middle of the historic district, surrounded by theaters, restaurants and shops, and the city lists it as a center of nightlife tied to its theater. That makes it a square you pass through repeatedly rather than visit once. Benches under the canopy, no gate, no hours to plan around. Come on a weekend afternoon and expect walking tours cycling through.
3. Wormsloe State Historic Site
Worth the drive out to 7601 Skidaway Road for the avenue of live oaks, and the 4,505 reviews behind its 4.5 rating make that a settled opinion rather than a hopeful one. Unlike the rest of this list, it charges admission: one listing gives $10 for adults, $9 for seniors, $4.50 for youth aged 6 to 17 and $2 for children under 6. Hours run 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., Monday through Sunday, so this is a daytime trip with a hard close. Plan food separately; Driftaway Cafe is about 0.4 miles away on Skidaway Road.
4. Bonaventure Cemetery
Not a park in the playground sense, but it functions as one: oak-shaded grounds on Bonaventure Road that people walk for the quiet and the monuments. The 4.7 rating rests on 825 reviews, a smaller but reasonably firm sample. Gates are open daily from 8:00 AM until 5:00 PM, and the city's Department of Cemeteries keeps its main office on site, which is useful if you need directions to a specific section. Treat the closing time as literal and arrive with daylight to spare, since the grounds are large and the loops take longer than they look.
5. Hull Park
A neighborhood park at 55th and Atlantic Avenue in 31405, on the city's official parks and playgrounds list, and the one entry here with thin evidence: the 4.7 rating comes from just 61 reviews, so treat it as promising rather than proven. That said, it is the kind of place the review count reflects rather than contradicts, a local green space away from the historic district's tour traffic. Come if you are staying midtown and want somewhere to walk that is not shared with a trolley route.
What we left off
Several Savannah venues carry "park" or "yard" in the name without being one. Treylor Park on East Bay Street and Treylor Park - Pizza Party on Habersham Street are restaurants, and Starland Yard on De Soto Avenue is a food park with a full bar, open 5-10pm Monday through Thursday. All three are well reviewed, but none is a public green space, so none belongs in a parks guide.
