The Colonial Park Cemetery is one of Savannah’s most known and beautiful restorations. This six-acre cemetery was established around 1750 and served as a burial ground for people of all denominations, including Button Gwinnett, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, the victims of the 1820 Yellow Fever epidemic, and others. It served as the public cemetery up until 1853.
Lake Mayer Community Park is a great place for those who wish to indulge in sports. One can play hockey, basketball, skate or just set up a picnic on Lake Mayer’s shore. This park offers facilities like a baseball field, tennis courts, playground, a boat ramp and a fishing pier. The neighborhood park is also a great option for those who wish to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The view of the surrounding lake is sure to soothe the eye and you are likely to spot a few ducks swimming in the lake.
