Forsyth Park also features basketball and tennis courts, two playgrounds (one of which is handicap-accessible) and a half-shell outdoor amphitheater that hosts outdoor concerts periodically. Enjoy a lavender latte at Collins Quarter at Forsyth cafe next door.

At the intersection of Jones and Whitaker streets, you'll find the Downtown Design District, which offers fabulous boutique shopping and world- famous Southern fare at Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room.
