Through a partnership with the Savannah Rotary Club and the Savannah Metropolitan Rotary, this MOA establishes a partnership to reimagine the space at the north end of Forsyth Park by creating a welcoming, functional area that reflects how residents wish to use and enjoy this historic space.

The Herb Traub Gathering Space used a community informed approach to refine a design and focus on enhancing accessibility, comfort, and usability while preserving the character of the park.

Herb Traub was a pioneer in the development of Savannah as a destination and embodied thr welcoming spirit that Savannah holds to this day. After retiring from Savannah’s Pirates' House, Traub became even more active in the community, spear-heading projects for the Downtown Rotary Club that brought lights to the downtown squares, an Olympic Legacy fountain and path to Daffin Park and a clock tower to City Market. Of his many accomplishments on behalf of his native city, he once said “If I was able to do anything to improve my hometown, that gave me extreme pleasure."
