Daffin Park

"Daffin Park is perfect for a traveler who is looking to spend time outdoors in a less crowded area than downtown and with plenty of shade. The 80-acre recreational park on the east side of Savannah has plenty to do, from the rubberized trail (perfect for runners) that outlines the perimeter, to the multiple courts for basketball, tennis, and volleyball. During fall and spring, local sports teams use the fields for football and soccer; and there’s plenty of giant oak trees offering shade for picnics. Daffin is also home to Grayson Stadium, home of the city’s minor league baseball team, Savannah Sand Gnats, for those looking to catch a game." - Ariel Felton, Sam Worley
