Well, they don’t call it Cherry Hill for nothing, that’s for sure. Every year, like clockwork, the mature Yoshino trees envelop visitors in a blanket of spring blooms! Originally designed as a turn-around for carriages in the 19th century, Cherry Hill now serves as a peaceful retreat and popular spot for photographers.
Overlooking the iconic towers of the San Remo, it offers a perfect backdrop for leisurely strolls in the park. The path meanders past blossoming trees before reaching the water and offering a great view of the Bow Bridge. This spot can’t be missed for anyone searching for cherry blossoms in Central park.
My adviceArrive early, Cherry Hill is VERY popular so crowds are hard to avoid.
