Branch Brook Park Has More Than 5,000 Cherry Trees
Walk through Newark parkland where a lakeside view and brick gatehouses add another reason to look beyond spring.
🌳 Past the Gatehouses
Branch Brook Park has the sort of entrance that makes you put your phone away. Twin brick gatehouses frame a tree lined road, while the lake reflects rows of trees. Pick this Newark address for a slow walk with architecture at the edges and water in view.
The park is known for more than 5,000 cherry blossom trees and a historic landscape designed by Olmsted Brothers. The lake and gatehouses give you a reason to look beyond the blossom display. Start your plan with the park at 1 Park Ave, then keep the Newark Museum of Art or the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in mind for another stop in the city.
