This swath of green space paralleling the waterfront, called variously “The Bay” and “The Strand” especially prior to 1900, has never been built on, remarkable in a city already endowed with ample open space. The City planted two rows of chinaberry trees along the north side of Bay Street as early as 1790, placing Savannah among the first American cities to plant street trees in a formal pattern for the purposes of recreation. The small portion of the Strand between Abercorn and Lincoln streets was renamed Salzburger Park in 1996, the same year that the Salzburger Monument of Reconciliation (1994, Anton Thuswaldner, sculptor) was dedicated—a gift to the Georgia Salzburger Society from the people of Salzburg, Austria. The section from Lincoln Street east to East Broad was renamed in 1900 after Irish patriot Robert Emmet and contains numerous monuments, including the Irish Monument (1983, Milton J. Little and William Fogarty, designers; Cathal Cregg, sculptor), the Chatham Artillery Monument (1986, Milton J. Little), Georgia Hussars Memorial (1960), Dr. Noble Wimberly Jones Memorial (2004, Kevin Conlon) and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (1991, design by Matthew Dixon; implemented by Gilpin and Bazemore, Architects and Planners).
