10Best Says

Conveniently located on the east side of Savannah off of Victory Drive, Daffin Park is an 80-acre recreational park designed in 1907 by landscape architect John Nolen. Nolen designed the park in a formal Beaux Arts style with two circular nodes flanked by tree-lined diagonal streets. Daffin Park features a lake, a two-mile paved sidewalk that's eight feet wide and handicap accessible, and a shorter 1/3-mile lighted sidewalk that traverses the lake. Daffin Park also boasts a playground, basketball courts, athletic fields, tennis courts, a volleyball court, swimming pool, picnic area and pavilion. Daffin Park is located next to Grayson Stadium, home of the Savannah Sand Gnats, a minor league baseball team.
