WHITE RIVER STATE PARK LOOKS FORWARD TO SPRING

SUBMITTED - A gift from Japan, Yoshino cherry trees were given to Indianapolis and other American cities in 2012 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the cherry trees that have come to define spring in our nation’s capital.

52 Japanese Yoshino Cherry Blossom Trees Beginning to Bloom

INDIANAPOLIS – Spring has officially arrived and so has the blooming of the Yoshino cherry trees at White River State Park.

A gift from Japan, Yoshino cherry trees were given to Indianapolis and other American cities in 2012 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the cherry trees that have come to define spring in our nation’s capital. They have become a real staple to the onboarding of spring for The Park.

Located on the west bank of the White River, east of the Indianapolis Zoo’s White River Gardens, the trees create a stunning backdrop to the Waterfront Pavilion. They will be in full bloom for up to 14 days.

“The blooming of our cherry blossom trees is always a special time for WRSP,” said Carolene Mays-Medley, executive director of the White River State Park Development Commission. “Although we are all practicing social distancing and observing the governor’s COVID-19 protocols, the blossoming of the trees is a pleasant reminder that brighter days are ahead of us and we look forward to all that awaits in White River State Park.”
