I've been to a lot of Squares of Savannah over the years, including attending a wedding at one of…read morethem. It was this one, Columbia Square. That wedding was in 2009. I recently revisited this square, about 15 years later, and realized there was a Yelp listing for it (and other squares) so I checked in and decided to leave a review. How can I not rate Columbia Square five stars? My good friend's wedding was here. It was a lovely, intimate ceremony in such a unique setting. I've been to many weddings since then and the Columbia Square wedding still stands out. I'll never forget it. How many people can say they were married at one of Savannah's historic squares? The ceremony took place in the center of the square, next to the Wormsloe Fountain. According to the City, the fountain "was imported in 1970 from one of Georgia's earliest settlements, Wormsloe Plantation." Currently, Savannah has 22 squares. The first four were laid out in 1733. Columbia Square was laid out in 1799, part of the third wave of squares to be laid out. I believe Columbia Square was the 10th square overall. Compared to most of the other Squares of Savannah, it's one of the smaller ones. The reception of the wedding I attended took place in the courtyard of the adjacent Isaiah Davenport House. The Davenport House was built in 1820. In 1955, it was saved from demolition by the Historic Savannah Foundation. Since 1963, it's operated as a house museum. Also adjacent to the square, and across the street from the Davenport House, is the exquisite Kehoe House, built in 1892. It's known as a romantic getaway and is one of only six Historic Inns of Savannah. As for Columbia Square itself, it's just as beautiful today as it was during my last (known) visit 15 years ago. The live oak trees continue to be towering and majestic. They're the highlight for me. The square and surrounding neighborhood are picturesque. On this last visit, I parked for free on E President Street; I believe in space 4506, east of the square. The City enforces parking in this area, Monday-Saturday, 8am-8pm. We checked the parking kiosk nearby and for some reason, it was free during the time of our visit (Friday afternoon/evening). Fun fact: When I parked here, my car hit exactly 297,000 miles.

There are ground-level features, sensory panels, and nature-inspired structures like rope bridges and climbing elements. I can easy it would be to keep an eye on everything from a shaded bench, and the surfacing had just the right balance of safety and natural texture. It's clear the layout was built with both kids and caregivers in mind. The green space next to it was just as inviting. I wandered the walking paths. One unexpected perk: I found working electrical outlets tucked discreetly around the park, probably intended for Christmas lights or seasonal events. I was able to use one to charge the on-board battery in my RV without a hitch. That little convenience made a big difference, and it's the kind of thoughtful detail that makes me want to return.

Just walking into the lobby transported me to my GS days and I felt gratitude for this woman that provided an opportunity for girls that she probably had no idea would expand so far and wide. Our group was kind of small, about 9 of us. Two of which were GS (Daisy and Brownie) in their little vests. Our tour guide was really great and the pacing of the tour was perfect. The information presented was not overwhelming and I learned so much about Juliette Gordon Low. Finding out the beyond founding Girl Scouts, she was a very accomplished artist and a loved nature. I absolutely recommend any current AND former Girl Scouts (no matter how old) to visit the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace Museum.

Because I came here a few days after visiting the Andrew Low house, the visit felt somewhat interconnected of sorts. We made it just in time for the guided tour, which was pretty helpful as it provided us with insights we wouldn't be able to get on our own. Our tour guide was awesome. We also ran into several troops on a tour too, which is of no surprise. Overall, a very pleasant tour that I'd repeat again.

I discovered Baldwin Park (BP) when I went to explore Tiedeman Park. I did not realize that they…read morewere two separate parks. On Washington and Atlantic Ave, you have Tiedeman Park, then there is the Palm Tree Lane (that's what I call it because I think it still remains unnamed) that spans about 3-4 street blocks that connects it to BP, which is what you will come to at the end of Palm Tree Lane. BP is the circle property on Atlantic Ave and E 41st Street. You can find parking around the circle area. There, you will find a square area with benches underneath some trees that provide a nice shady area. This is a great place to sit to read, take a break or watch your kids play in a gated playground. The playground has one baby swing, a regular swing and then a small structure equipped with a double slide and another longer slide and the other standard obstacles. The downside is the poor attempt at shading the structure. The playground must stay untouched during the summer months, because it is just too darn hot outside and lately, it's just too hot to be outside period! I would definitely bring my kids back here in the colder months, just for a change of scenery and I would never mind the view of Palm Tree Lane while they play!

I quickly parked on the street and google where exactly I was, and asked my soulmate (Yes, Yelp is my soulmate if you wonder!) how the park was. After looking around the area, I decided to wake up my kids in the back of the car and said "let's go play!". It was a chill Sunday afternoon that we were the only three people running and laughing in the whole park. Most of people passed by are either with their dogs or just took a slow walk to enjoy the nice weather. The size of the playground is pretty small with 2 swings and the few slides. Most important thing is they are all well maintained. Park itself is clean and neat. Maybe it can't compare with Forsyth Park. But I actually feel more comfortable and secure to stay in Baldwin Park. The neighborhoods walked through the park with their dogs, and my daughter was excited to give greeting to the doggies. Playground was separated by low metal fences that makes sure kids are not easy to walk away from the area. There are seating benched everywhere in the park, and they are all under the trees. I don't know how cool/ hot will be during typical Southern summer, but I am pretty sure I will let my kids to play in this park more often instead of going to Forsyth Park with the crowd. (I still love the atmosphere in Forsyth Park, but I prefer a slow path area for my kids to run around). Thanks City of Savannah built up such a nice neighbor park in the middle of the between downtown and midtown area. I am glad I find one more nice place to put in my pocket list for kids to spend their energy.
