It is a magical spot to enjoy the crisp spring air when you need to stretch your legs.

The most abundant cotton candy-coloured blooms are crab apples, which you can find next to Prince of Wales Drive and throughout the park.

There is no need to search for the two clusters of magnolia trees or the various cherry trees as there is a handy map on where to find them.
