Jones Street is said to be the prettiest street in Savannah. It has a claim to be among the most appealing in the United States too, a reputation that rests upon the picture presented by Jones Street's characteristically high-stooped mid-19th century homes and its impressively arching live oaks.

This majestic 30-acre park named for Georgia’s 33rd governor has it all! The city’s most most famous fountain—installed in 1858 and modeled after the fountains at the Place de la Concorde in Paris—crowns the northern edge of the park, inspiring contemplation and selfies, proposals and weddings. Sometimes the stroll to the fountain is dotted with local artisans working to the sounds of a lively trumpet, and on quieter days it’s just the locals out with their dogs, avid readers nestled deep in their comfy hammocks and art students sketching their surroundings from a nearby bench.
Further into the park are two children’s playgrounds—one for littles and another for bigger kids. On the east side is a concert and event space (which becomes a lively splash pad on hot summer days!) and to the west, a fragrant garden for the blind.
