About Forsyth Park
Forsyth Park was created in the 1840s on the southern edge of the historic center and later expanded with recreational fields. It has about 12 hectares of lawns and paths lined with live oaks, with shaded benches and a scented garden designed for people with visual impairments.
The white iron fountain, installed in 1858 at the park’s northern end, is one of the city’s most recognizable images. To the south are courts and sports fields.
On Saturdays a farmers’ market occupies part of the park. The Victorian houses on the surrounding streets complete the walk, and the park hosts outdoor concerts and festivals at certain times of year.
