Abstract
Description
The first part of the nation's oldest park system, Branch Brook Park was developed in the 1890s by the Essex County Park Commission. The firm of Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer of New York's Central Park, assisted in the original plan. The park is noted for its varied recreational facilities, its lakes and streams, and the springtime splendor of its 3,500 varied pink and white cherry trees -- more than Washington, D.C.
