Crabapple Grove

Crabapple Grove is a distinctive and four-acre garden nestled within Riverside Park, serving as a gateway into the park for visitors at 91st Street on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Over the years, this grove has become renowned for its diverse collection of flowering crabapple trees, along with trees and seasonal plantings, offering a display of blossoms each spring. The grove’s heritage dates back to the 1930s and early 1940s, when many of its original crabapples were planted as part of federal Works Progress Administration projects, making it one of the city’s most significant horticultural landmarks. Today, Crabapple Grove remains a favorite spot for relaxation and inspiration, celebrated for its natural beauty and its role in preserving New York’s rich parkland traditions.. riversideparknyc.org
