The Bloesempark, part of the Amsterdamse Bos in Amstelveen, is located in a green oasis designed by city planners Cornelis van Eesteren and Jakoba Mulder in the 1930s. These designers shaped a large city park that provides a place for nature and recreation in the middle of an urban environment. The Blossom Park itself is distinguished by the presence of as many as 400 Japanese cherry trees, which bloom profusely every spring between mid-March and mid-April.
The sight of the delicate pink and white blossoms attracts many visitors each year. They come not just for a short visit, but to walk for a few hours under the branches where the blossoms spread over the path like a light and airy roof. This period gives the park a special atmosphere, a quiet beauty that invites contemplation and leisurely strolling. Even outside the blossom season, the park has its charm thanks to its quiet natural surroundings in the larger Amsterdamse Bos.
The Blossom Park has a cultural-historical value beyond its natural appearance. It strengthens the relationship between nature and urban life in Amstelveen and the surrounding area, making it a well-known and valued green attraction. The interplay of designed city park and carefully planted cherry trees produces a place that is different from ordinary woodlands.

This shows that the park is not only a natural venue, but also a place where people come together around the theme of nature and experience. In the combination of design, nature and culture, the Blossom Park offers a unique experience invited by the cherry blossom every year.
