very beautiful place, clean, and located close to other attractions.
Beautiful park to walk through. The trees are so pretty and just the vibe of the space felt really good to have a peaceful walk through.
One of the original squares established in 1742. It is absent statues, monuments and memorials, but has many benches and large trees and the surrounding area consists of both residential and commercial. One of the Trustee lots is the Owens-Thomas house, an English Regency-style house museum, built in 1819,
The city if full of such squares which are cute little places to walk and absorb history. This was also one of the first stops with the ghost tour. So much information about hangings, ghost sightings. Owen Thomas House and salve quarter located at this square is a tour worthy place.
Might be tough to find the parking. Waking here is the best option. This square as per our guide was named after founder of Georgia but one unique thing is, General Oglethrope’s statue is not located inside this square but some other square nearby.

The flowers, trees and the water fountain were beautiful, people were very nice.
This square is one of many, but it has some great history attached to it. It was the hanging square, where people went to socialize. The first woman hanged in Savannah was here. There are ghost stories about it. Check out the companies that do ghost tours. We did some research and they were accurate in what they shared.
A beautiful, modern, and relaxed resort!! Has everything so you do not need to leave the premises, very good bar, resturant and the main pool..definitely, i will be back..
We had a good time traveling here. Lovely place and I highly recommend to do some research to learn the stories and history in this place.
We had a “ghost” tour in this square and it’s interesting.
