Branch Brook Park in Newark, New Jersey is beautiful. Not only does it have more than 4000 cherry trees, but many other points of interest.
The magnificent Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart is viewable from the park:
The tennis courts are named after tennis great Althea Gibson.
The darker pink cherry blossoms have finally bloomed . . .
