Review:
Forsyth Park is a 30-acre urban public park in the Savannah Historic District, originally developed on 10 acres of land in the 1840s that was donated to the city by William Hodgson and significantly expanded in 1851. The park is known internationally for its Forsyth Fountain, which was constructed in 1958 to mimic Peru's Place de la Concorde fountains and has been featured in motion pictures such as Cape Fear and The Longest Yard. Other attractions at the park include a Confederate Memorial, an outdoor theater, a cafe, children's playgrounds, and courts for tennis, soccer, bocce, and basketball. Each Saturday, the park hosts the city's farmers' market, and each St. Patrick's Day, its iconic fountain is ceremonially turned green to honor the city's Irish residents. The park is also host to an annual free movie series and the yearly Savannah Jazz Festival.
