Best Spots to see Auckland's Cherry BlossomsCornwall Park
Cherry Blossoms are visible in two locations within Cornwall Park. The largest grouping is located halfway down Pōhutukawa Drive on the right when entering the main gates at Greenlane. The second, smaller grouping, is located along Pūriri Drive on the left when moving toward Campbell Crescent.
Auckland Botanic Gardens
The Auckland Botanical Gardens boast a grove of exquisite ‘Awanui’ cherries that celebrate the arrival of spring each year. They gradually open their blooms over the early to mid of spring and then provide a magical spectacle that you can wander beneath and between.
Auckland Domain
Not far from Tāmaki Paenga Hira Auckland War Memorial Museum, the cherry trees in the city’s oldest park form a striking walkway of pink and white.
Henderson Civic Building Japanese Garden
In February 1997, Waitakere City was gifted a Japanese garden by its sister city in Japan, Kakogawa. The garden has remained a treasured jewel of the west since then, and was relocated to Henderson in 2006.
Japanese Fukuoka Garden
In Western Springs, you’ll find these striking cherry blossom trees next to the Auckland Zoo carpark. This redevelopment of the original garden built in the Zoo was gifted to the city in 1989 from Fukuoka City.
