The nationally registered historic Parkside neighborhood,
literally named because the community borders Daffin Park along Washington
Avenue, is one of the more sought after districts in Savannah to live in. The
Parkside neighborhood is bounded
by Victory Dr., Waters Ave., Bee St. and 51st Street. From Parkside there is esay access to downtown Savannah, the Truman
Parkway and Rt 80 out to Tybee Island. Parkside is also just a mile or so from Victory
Square Shopping Center (Victory and Skidaway) which hosts Home Depot, Target,
Stapels a movieplex, and numerous places to eat. Parkside is lined
with majestic oak trees draped with Spanish moss and large sidewalks offering a short walk to Daffin Park.
Historic
Daffin Park a Draw for Parkside Residents
Daffin Park was built as a formal Beaux Arts-style park with
two circular nodes joined to the four corners by tree-lined diagonal roads. This beautiful Park has handicapped
accessible facilities, baseball and soccer fields, basketball and tennis
courts, playgrounds, swimming pool, picnic area, lake pavilion, a dog park and
Grayson Stadium, home of the Sand Gnats minor-league baseball team. A large
park that rarely seems crowded at a size of 80 acres.
Parkside Friendly Community
Parkside is a great
neighborhood community to live in for instance; one year on Thanksgiving
weekend “The Kids Block”, i.e. the 1200 block of 49th Street, held a street
party/sit down dinner. A single table straddled the middle of the block, set
for over 40 people. It’s the kind of neighborhood that take in each other’s
FedEx packages, lend and borrow coffee and half–and–half. They even have their
own Facebook page Parkside
Neighborhood Association, Savannah, GA. In May they have their annual neighborhood Treasure Days
Yard Sale. (This year on Friday May 17)
