Ambuc Park

Ambuc Park holds a distinct position in the Savannah parks landscape: it's one of the metro's better destinations for inclusive, adaptive playground equipment designed to serve children of all abilities. For families traveling with children who have physical mobility differences or disabilities, finding parks where the equipment is designed for them rather than just ADA-compliant on the path is a meaningful difference. Ambuc Park delivers.

The park is a full-service Chatham County facility — not just the playground but also athletic fields, picnic areas, and open green space. The broader park complex gives families multiple activities beyond the inclusive equipment, making a 1.5-2.5 hour visit comfortable for families with multiple kids of different abilities and interests.

Location context: Ambuc Park sits in the Bacon Park/Sandfly area near Lake Mayer Park and the Savannah Botanical Gardens — all within a few minutes of each other on Savannah's Southside. Combining Ambuc Park and Lake Mayer in a single morning gives families a varied and complete outdoor experience without driving across the city.

The park is open from 9:45am to 10pm daily — the late closing time is valuable for summer visits when the 6-10pm window is significantly more comfortable than the peak heat hours of noon to 5pm. Free access, free parking, and a thoughtfully designed park make Ambuc one of the Savannah Southside's better family assets.

For families whose children have any accessibility considerations, Ambuc Park should be on the shortlist of Savannah park visits.
