    This park it's on its best moment. Beautifully pink, bloom and busy with visitors from everywhere. The park has a playground, parking lot or parking in the street. baseball field and public bathroom (for the season). The best date to see the blossom tree blooming it's between April 4 to 14.

    This is a great area to walk around, and if you can ACTUALLY manage to make it here during the peak of Cherry Blossom season, you'll be impressed with the sights. It's worth making the trip! And even if it's not time for the pinkest blossoms, and they've fallen like a pink blizzard to the ground, it's still a lovely walk on a spring day. It was nice not to have to pay for parking, too.

    Branch Brook Park is a great place to relax on the beautiful grass or a quiet walk around the park on the new rubberized walkways. Its a great place for one to meditate on life while gazing at the beautiful trees to absorb all that nature has to offer. Its a place where I go to let go of the past and regroup to continue moving forward. Whether your alone, with love ones, or just friends, Branch brook Park offers a unique experience for all to enjoy.

    Absolutely stunning in Spring. The most collection of Cherry Blossoms any where in the United States. Looping miles of scenic gardens & fountains, stone bridges and Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart. It is a stunning gem in Newark & all the country

    Stunningly beautiful. A little crowded, a little tough to park. But totally worth the trip.

    It’s quite neat inside. Outside, the parking lot has ample parking and many portable toilets for visitors to use.

    You can park here if you're driving. Stop in and pick up a map, super clean bathrooms and take a walk through the cherry blossom path. Carefully cross the street to the canal and stroll. This is my favorite part of the Park.

    This park is perfect to watch cherry blossoms. Near New York city, in jersey city. A lot of options for activities. Running, biking, tennis, and picnicking. Restrooms are available through out the park.

    So fantastic! We were able to enjoy the blooming trees over the weekend of April 7th. The trees are various ages, some with beautiful character and shape! What a treat if you're here during the blooming season! They're rebuilding the welcome center but there was plenty of parking, as well as street parking. The park is still accessible and worth the visit!

    One of the best place to see cherry blossom and spring festival in New Jersey Bergen County. Best time of visit would be first 2 week of April for peak blossom. Keep following Branch Brook Park’s instagram page for more daily updates and keep best time to visit.

    Nice park. It has different locations. Some have more cherry blossoms than others. It is mostly stroller accessible which is also nice. The festival is great for family but parking gets tough!

    Place is very colorful and a great place to take a jog.. for such a large park this place is extremely clean, the roads are well maintained as well and it's a great place to see a baseball game or even let your kids play with the others

    The park was absolutely beautiful and well maintained (from a nature stand point) we did not go near any of the actual equipment to judge those but the grass was trimmed and over all landscaping was great.

    Great park to walk and enjoy the cherry blossom. I recommend going in the month of April. If you go in May you might miss the cherry blossom. I went 4/10/22 and the trees were at their peak. Downfall is the traffic in that area, but if you go with enough time and take your time, you will be fine.

    Good starting point to see the Cherry Blossoms. Parking lot fills up fast in Cherry Blossom season - cannot speak to rest of the year.

    While on vacation in Jersey, I passed by and saw this new building that the city was having a grand opening ceremony. It is a beautiful building, I have lots of good memories here, running in the field, and playing baseball as a kid back in the 70s. This new building is a good thing for Newark. Loved it.
