I'm pretty sure Daffin Park (DP) is the largest recreational park in Savannah. Located in the Historic District, the park is huge, at about 80 acres. It's home to the Grayson Stadium, where the Savannah Bananas (baseball team) play. There are multiple types of fields suitable for sports like soccer, football or really any sport that requires lots of space to play. There is a playground, dog park and a large pond with walking trails.
DP is also a great location for big outdoor events. We've been to Earth Day Savannah, an event that is held there every year. We've also been to the Savannah Food Truck Festival at DP, which are always fun. The park allows for people to spread out and claim their own space without feeling squished together. We've also been to military ceremonies located in the park as well.
Our kids love to play at the playground and there are mature trees all over the entire park that provide lots of much appreciated shade on those hot Southern summer days! Lots of parking can be found all throughout. Obviously, it gets more tricky for large events.
DP is not as well manicured like Forsyth Park, but it's still a great place to hang out, enjoy the outdoors, play, walk or even to get some food and have a picnic! If you prefer more space and less people, go to DP!
Stay safe, Friends!
