Daffin Park

Use 1 Waring Drive for the general park, 1301 East Victory Drive for the public pool, or 1401 East Victory Drive for Grayson Stadium. The park spans Victory Drive, Bee Road, Washington Avenue, and Waters Avenue, so route to the exact facility.

Parking is distributed near the stadium, pool, fields, and recreation areas. Grayson Stadium events can use and fill nearby park spaces, so follow event controls and avoid assuming the closest lot will remain available.

Yes. The City lists a walking trail through the park's broad recreation landscape and historic live-oak layout. Stadium events, field use, and active construction can create local detours.

The new signature playground is scheduled to be unveiled by the end of summer 2026. Until the City announces opening, treat it as under construction; it is designed for ages 2–12 with seven play zones, shade, climbing, swings, slides, and fully ADA-compliant access.

Yes. Chatham Area Transit serves the Victory Drive corridor beside Daffin Park. For the pool and recreation office, plan toward 1301 East Victory Drive; for Grayson Stadium, use 1401 East Victory Drive. The park covers several blocks between Victory Drive, Bee Road, Washington Avenue, and Waters Avenue, so enter the exact facility in CAT's live trip planner and check rider alerts before leaving rather than relying on a route number that may change.

A new splash pad is part of the signature-playground project scheduled for late-summer 2026 opening. Do not rely on it until the City announces the playground and water-play area are officially open.

Pool and stadium restrooms follow those facilities' operating schedules. A new restroom is included with the signature playground project, but should be treated as unavailable until the City confirms the late-summer 2026 opening.

Savannah's 2026 summer programming lists public recreational swimming and several pool programs as free, with normal pool hours Monday–Thursday 1–5 p.m. and Saturday 1–6 p.m. Seasonal dates and program-specific registration still apply.

Signature-playground construction continues toward a late-summer 2026 opening, while Grayson Stadium events, pool operations, athletic schedules, and maintenance can affect parking and individual fields or paths. Check same-day City notices.

Yes. A level, eight-foot-wide concrete sidewalk and parallel rubberized running trail outline the park for 1.5 miles. The shorter lighted path around Daffin Lake is about one-third mile; active construction can create temporary detours.

The 2026 program includes weekday morning lap swimming, afternoon recreational swimming, Saturday sessions, and evening water aerobics, but each activity has its own dates. Check the current Aquatics schedule rather than relying on general park access.

Daffin includes a picnic pavilion and reservable athletic facilities. Organized events, exclusive field or court use, vendors, amplified sound, and large setups require City coordination; Grayson Stadium events follow separate rules.

The picnic pavilion provides a covered gathering area, and the new signature playground includes shade cover along with a splash zone and restroom. Tree cover varies around the walking loop, while athletic fields, courts, pool areas, Grayson Stadium approaches, and broad lawns are exposed. Do not rely on an open pavilion during thunderstorms or tropical weather; follow City closure notices and use an open substantial building or vehicle.

Yes. Savannah explicitly permits dogs on the 1.5-mile perimeter walking route when they are leashed. Daffin Park is not listed as an off-leash dog park, so keep the leash attached throughout the paths and lawns, remove waste, and stay out of playground equipment, splash play, pool areas, athletic fields in use, Grayson Stadium, and any signed restricted facility.

Historic Grayson Stadium is Daffin Park's defining landmark. The City describes the 1926 ballpark as part of the larger 75-acre recreation complex; it sits on the Victory Drive side near the park's athletic fields and event parking. Daffin is chiefly a neighborhood sports and recreation park rather than a public-art destination, so use Grayson Stadium as the clearest meeting and orientation point while remembering that ticketed stadium events operate separately from the free park.
