For most visitors, Forsyth Park is all about the city's most beloved fountain—it’s modeled after the fountains at the Place de la Concorde in Paris. But you’ll also see gorgeous paths and live oak trees, children's playgrounds, a concert and event space, a fragrant garden, and more. Of course, you’ll probably also catch a busker or two, too.

For starters, Forsyth Park closes at 11pm, so plan accordingly. And while the park is generally considered a safe place to visit at night—it’s well-lit and well-trafficked—it is always a good idea to keep a good eye on your belongings and to have someone with you while in a new city.

The Forsyth Park Farmers Market is open every Saturday from 9am to 1pm on the southern end of the park. It usually runs rain or shine—within reason, of course—and visitors can expect a local food-only, producer-only market that’s chock-full of fresh produce, meats, sweet treats, cheeses, and more.

Yes, Forsyth Park is most certainly historic. It was built in 1841, which makes it older than both Central Park and Prospect Park in New York City. In fact, it’s a very early expression of the American Public Park Movement. What’s more, General Sherman spared the city and Forsyth Park during the Civil War because it was “too beautiful to burn.”
