About this park

Daffin Park is a historic Savannah green with enormous live oaks, open fields, and a small pond ringed by a walking loop, better suited to leashed walks and runs than off-leash play. A separate fenced dog run sits on the far side of the property behind the Savannah Bananas stadium, which gives owners two distinct options on one park.

The highlights

Reviewers praise the towering trees, the loop around the pond, and the sheer amount of open green space at Daffin Park. The dog run reads as a bonus on top of a park locals already treat as a neighborhood staple.

Before you go

If you're coming specifically for the dog run, aim for the side opposite the baseball stadium: parking fills fast when the Savannah Bananas play. The pond loop is a scenic leashed walk if you'd rather skip the off-leash area.

Frequently asked

Is there a fenced off-leash area?
The fenced run sits on the far side of the property, behind the Savannah Bananas stadium, and is covered here as Herty Pines Dog Park. Everywhere else, leashes stay on.
Where is parking easiest?
Lots ring the park, but the stretch by the baseball stadium fills fast on Savannah Bananas nights. Coming in from the opposite side avoids most of that.
What else is on the grounds?
A pond with a central fountain, large open fields, clay and hard tennis courts, a pool, restrooms, and a playground on the Waters Avenue side.
Does it work for a long leashed walk?
Yes. A walking and running track circles the fields, the pond loop adds a scenic stretch, and the live oaks keep most of the route shaded.
