Beautiful park perfect for relaxing, people watching and long walks with your dog
Grab a take-out from Zunzi 's around the corner on York Street, find a park bench and enjoy a meal and some people-watching. Benches are low to ground...almost as if they were designed for dwarfs.
All the squares are amazing! Take a seat and just relax
Savannah parks are very clean . Pan handling isn't allowed. Extremely attractive .
