Ellis Square

One of four original squares laid out in 1733. It was often called the Marketplace Square, but was actually named in honor of Henry Ellis , Georgia's 2nd Royal Governor . See the new water works!

Favorite square in Savannah! The most modern and dynamic one. During summer you can enjoy watching the kids playing with the water

Open space for sitting or hanging out with friends. Also a great meet up spot since it is so open. It separates City Market from the rest of the downtown area going East.

Designed in 1733. In honor of Henry Ellis , the 2nd Royal Governor . The "Old City Market " was located & merchants sold crops and wares. Once lost to urban sprawl, the old city square has been restored.

Walk around the square to find something good to eat, cool to buy or fresh to drink, and don't miss the St. Patricks 5k.

Very clean for a public park ,nice people with they’re dogs all over. Nice to sit in the shade and relax!

A great place to hang out, listen to music or to grab a bite to eat from one of the many surrounding restaurants or shops.

Savannah's plaza ! Walking distance from almost all major attractions . Parking underneath via Whitaker .

Several buildings sat on this site since the 1700s. The last, a parking garage , was removed in the early 2000s. Take advantage of the new parking underneath . www.architecturalsavannah.com

There's a public restroom in the corner of Ellis Square. Great place to have lunch or read a book . Public tables

The famous songwriter Johnny Mercer statue ...famous for writing "Ain't Nothing but a Hounddog" and "Who Let the Dogs Out-Who,Who,Who?" If you step on his foot while rubbing his hat, he'll sing for you
