This 30 acre park began as 10 acre recreational park in the 1840s and expanded by 21 acres in 1867 as a military parade ground. It was named for former Georgia Governor John Forsyth. It is home to a Confederate Memorial, a theatre, tennis courts, basket ball courts, volleyball courts, playgrounds, a cafe and the Forsyth Fountain. It also hosts an awesome farmers market, various artists, and special events.

The special event today is an extravagant wedding for at least 800 guests. There were tents set up for dining (including big screen tv's so everyone can see the happy couple), dancing, a bar (complete with lounge chairs, sofa's, standing tables, a dance floor and mounted wildlife covering the backdrop of the bar) and a kitchen.

The theatre stage was surrounded by more candles, of various sizes, than we could count. There was even a carousel being set up for the event. It was only 11am so who knows what else will be set up by the time the nuptials take place.

A couple were having their engagement photos taken. We enjoyed watching them pose as directed. We interacted a little with them, got some chuckles, and wished them a long healthy union.
