Expansive park famed for its spring cherry blossoms, with paths bordering canals & meadows.

The location of the park is at Doorweg 32,1182 DB, AMSTELVEEN ,Netherlands.

Every spring, the 400 flowering cherry blossom trees attract thousands of visitors from home and abroad. But even outside the flowering period in March/April, the oval Cherry Blossom Park is an ideal location for finding peace and reflection.

The cherry trees in the blossom park were donated to the municipality of Amstelveen in 2000 by the Japanese Women's Club. Every tree in the symmetrical park has a name: 200 trees have a Japanese female name, 200 trees have a Dutch female name. Flowers and nature have a symbolic meaning in Japan. The cherry blossom ('Sakura') represents a new beginning. At the same time, the blowing of the blossom refers to the fleeting nature of life.
