Lake Mayer Park Administration Office

Note: This listing is the Administration Office for Lake Mayer Park — the park itself is the destination and has a separate listing in this dataset. Both resolve to the same address and the reviews (4.6 across 2,007 reviews) reflect the park experience rather than an office visit.

Lake Mayer Park is one of Chatham County's premier family parks — a comprehensive facility built around a 75-acre freshwater lake in Savannah's Southside. The park's variety is unusual: walking and biking trails circumnavigate the lake, a playground serves younger visitors, a skate park serves older kids and teens, tennis and basketball courts provide athletic outlets, fishing is available from the banks, and paddle boat rentals (seasonal) let families get on the water.

The lake is the park's anchor. The perimeter trail is flat, paved, and appropriate for strollers — a classic venue for family morning walks with the added bonus of wildlife viewing: turtles, herons, and other birds are regular lake residents. The trail is long enough to feel like a real walk rather than a loop around a fountain.

For families with age-diverse kids, Lake Mayer works well because there's genuinely something appropriate for each age: the playground for younger kids, the skate park for teens, fishing for patient types of any age, and the trail for everyone. This is a park where a family with a 4-year-old and a 14-year-old can both have a good time simultaneously.

The hours (8am-11pm) give late-evening visits unusual access — a summer evening walk around the lake as temperatures cool is a legitimate and lovely Savannah experience.
