Central Park's Cherry Hill

The history of Cherry Hill dates back to the mid-1800s when it was first developed as a popular spot for boating and ice-skating. In the early 1900s, the park was re-landscaped and transformed into the beautiful hillside garden it is today.

The name "Cherry Hill" comes from the cherry trees that were planted on the hillside, which bloom in the spring and attract visitors from all over the world.

Visitors to Cherry Hill can enjoy a leisurely walk around the lake or sit on one of the many benches and take in the views. The hill is also a popular spot for bird-watching, as it offers a great vantage point to observe the many species of birds that call the park home. Visitors can also rent rowboats or paddle boats from the nearby Loeb Boathouse and take a scenic ride around the lake.

One of the best times to visit Cherry Hill is in the spring when the cherry trees are in bloom. The hillside is covered in a sea of pink and white blossoms, creating a magical atmosphere that is sure to take your breath away. In the fall, the hillside is ablaze with vibrant shades of red, orange, and gold, making it a great spot for autumn foliage photography.

Another great feature of Cherry Hill is the nearby Bow Bridge, a popular spot for photographers and a romantic setting for couples. The bridge spans across the Lake, providing breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

One of the recommended ways to experience Cherry Hill is through the famous pedicab tours or carriage rides. These tours not only provide a convenient way to reach Cherry Hill but also offer opportunities to capture memorable photos along the way.
