Absolutely beautiful park. Wether you bring your family, your dog, your girlfriend or just yourself, you will not be disappointed. Plenty of room for a picnic, play some sports or just soak up some rays. They have a beautiful running track thats easy on your feet. If youre thirsty or hungry there are 2 gas stations with mini marts in walking distance at either end of the park. This park wont disappoint, go enjoy it on a nice sunny day...
Cool park for walking , jogging sightseeing, meeting freindly awesome people like I did , I even met some workers this day beautifying the grounds , very neat and tidy park. Take yo pooch for a walk and has a fenced in area for dogs to run and play with all the other dogs. Now I need a dog...lol 🐩🐕
My husband and I took our puppy for the first time and had a wonderful experience. The park has two sections one for over 25pounds and the other under, we went into the over 25 pounds section there are two water stations one for drinking and a small bone schaped dog pool! Everyone there had great control over thier dogs, we could tell everyone played by the rules allowing us to experience a fun and safe time! Park has clean up stations for owners to bag up any poo poo no worries of stepping in any! Great socialization for dogs!
Daffin dog park, as part of the larger Daffin park, was big and full of fun smells and critters for my pups to chase after. There were many picnic benches, water stations, and poop bag stations throughout. This is also the first park Ive seen that had three areas; one for little dogs or puppies, one for large dogs, and one long skinny dog run area. I thought that was a neat touch!
Wish the City would make an effort to make the dog park as 5 star as the do the rest of Savannah. It is ok but a few changes and upgrade would be nice. With the tall pines it is cool as you can get in the summer. A filtered swimming area, grass and a wash area would be on my wish list
I grew up next to this park, it has a very nice shady playground that is fenced in situated under massive oak trees, there is a huge pond on one side and the park has plenty of space for all sorts of sports... I didnt see a fenced in dog park? Unless they are talking about the park its self. It is bordered by busy roads so if I were you I wouldnt let my dog off lead unless its extremely obedient
Large open space with lots of trees to sniff and shaded picnic tables. Fresh water to fill a bowl for thirsty pups. The fence is too high for even the hi jumping escape artists like mine. There is a separate area for small dogs too. We will be going back to make more pup friends soon. Dont forget all dogs need updates shots and tags to party.
We have lived within walking distance to daffin for almost 3 years now and I just say it is such a beautiful park. The people there are always friendly and it’s a great place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of nature. The oaks trees are huge! The open field itself is huge and good for sports or picnics in the grass. There’s always something going on like outdoor yoga, sometimes there’s an outdoor traveling gym, food truck festivals, rugby tournaments, etc. There is a dog park called Herty Pines Dog park on the southeast corner of the park. We used to live taking our dogs over there but sometimes there are so many dogs it can be overwhelming. Daffin is also home to the historic Grayson Stadium and their baseball team the Savannah Bananas. The games are so much fun and the fireworks they display some weekends are phenomenal. Overall, I adore this park! If you come you will you not be disappointed.
Could be a great dog park, but people with poorly trained dogs that they dont pay attention to have ruined it the three times Ive gone. Also people really like to ignore the size rules and bring their 8lb dogs into the area for large dogs. The positives are that its large and shaded.
The best rugby fields in Savannah, it is a great place to take your body to walk or run. This is a great park to have fun. The St Patricks day rugby tournament is played there every year. It is worth your time and effort to go watch these college kids and young adults play.
We take our 2 dogs 3 or 4 times per week. Its a nice park. Not only do they have 2 fenced in areas, 1 for smaller dogs & the other for bigger dogs, but they also have an open area where you can let your dog(s) run free if your dog is trained. Theres alot more to this park other than the dog parks. Its HUGE!
We took our bulldog here for the first time today. Great place! Lots of area for the dogs to play with multiple watering stations and a doggie pool. There are 2 separate areas. One for dogs over 25 lbs and the other for those weighing less. Everyone we met there was very friendly. We will definitely go again!
Most of the wide open spaces have signs saying they were closed. I think this makes no sense during a time like this. I am hesitant about taking my child to the park equipment because other kids and parents have been around it and possibility spreading the corona virus. So having a field to play kickball and Frisbee are alternatives but if you have no field to play on then what is the purpose of the park.
Daffin Park is one of Savannahs largest parks. Daffin is host to Savannahs Little League Football Program and is a very popular site for those who enjoy running. It offers a low-impact soft track for runners and those who simply enjoy walking. Recreation areas include tennis and basketball courts, and a public swimming pool which is open during the summer. Daffin also features a Dog Park and is home to the Savannah Bananas! Oh, I cant forget about the majestic Live Oak trees! If youve never been there, what are you waiting for? Youll love it!
Easily the best dog park Ive been to between Georgia and Florida. Its huge with so many pine trees to smell and pee on that also offer lots of shade. Also, be advised that there is no separation here between big and small dogs. Not saying that its a bad or good thing, just a thing to be aware of.
Love, Love, Love this place. One of our favorite places in Savannah. The kids love to bring our dog here while we have a picnic. We came here 4 times this past April while we were visiting on our yearly Savannah trip. Great place to bring the kids, dog, husband, and walk around :)
It is a very clean park with a minor league baseball stadium ( Savannah Banannas) right inside of it. Also has a dog park there as well. Plenty of sport activities to do as well as soccer, tennis, beach valley ball, swimming, basketball, as well as fishing in the fountain ponds. If you get bored than you are boring. Just playing but it is a nice park.
We frequently go to dog parks in Bath or Brunswick Maine so we tried this one out in Savannah a few times. Each visit progressively got worse as the dogs already at the park were very aggressive. Owners had no leash to pull dogs off. I carried my 7lb dog and leashed my 65 lb dog and we enjoyed the small dog side of the park which had no other dogs in it. My large dog is very submissive so as she layed on her back a Rotwieller kept going after her as she cried out. If I return we will use the small dog side only.
My most favorite Davannah park. Love the walking tracks and two huge rainbow flashing fountains.The best, safest park in town with tons of things to do. They have a building to use for parties, basketball courts (many), tennis courts (many).Theres two nice fairly big playgrounds. A huge swimming pool, soccer fields, baseball fields and a millins old mossy cover beautiful hundreds of years old trees.Theres a picture op around every turn or step. Great place to meet new people, whether locals or visitors.
Daffins track is padded which makes it easier on the in step. There is a community park for your canine as well. Of course, there is the Savannah Bananas at Grayson Stadium so on Monday during baseball season you can get your run-on & play in a complete package. Also, I caught Peter, Paul and Mary there at a Folk, Bluegrass festival.Daffins tennis courts are good and I like to recharge my cell outside of the gates while waiting. Yes, there is a grilling pit, and bathrooms as well.The is a pavilion on the East end near Waters. If youre traveling by CAT then catch it at Joe Murray and listen for the protocol which will prompt you that you are approaching Victory Drive.

2021-12-26I prefer it because it is very close to my house. Actually, I love it here. Its a nice place to take a breather, walk on the grass and enjoy a pleasant pond view. This park lives with us in our lives.

2022-06-21Well maintained. Great spot for families, lots of room to walk pets, and a great track for exercise. Playgrounds are nice, though some could use some updating. The pool is no frills but nice. The dog run is nice and big, though could stand to put in grass as the sand makes for dirty dogs afterwards! And you cant beat going to a Savannah Bananas game!

2022-02-01Great park, friendly dogs and owners. Very spacious with wide open grass field. Absolutely wonderful for a family outing, photographs, bird watching or simply lounging in the park. Stop by and enjoy its offerings even if you are not a dog owner.

2021-01-30Nice park for a walk or run. Mile marker signs posted for convenience. Even though it’s close to the main road, it’s not very loud. However, one side of the park is near the fire station and that could get loud at times of an emergency. The park has a waking trail, dog park, playground, basketball court, and I believe a pool. The fountain is also gorgeous and has benches around it for seating. Be careful with little ones around the pond. Oh, it also features a huge lot of green grass for whatever you’d like. Such as, soccer, running, star gazing, etc. people bring their dogs out on a leash as well. Lovely park.

2022-03-02Excellent place for fenced in off leash running and playing, with both small and big dog areas. The surrounding park is also great for on leash walks, including a pond with a fountain.
