With cherry blossom season in full effect, many people are flocking to their favourite spot to grab a selfie under the beautiful blossoms.
While the North Shore doesn't have its own festival to celebrate the Vancouver staple, it still has its fair share of places to see spring in full effect.
Here are the most popular spots on the North Shore to catch some cherry blossom action.
- In North Vancouver at the bottom of Lonsdale, at Waterfront Park and throughout the Shipyards District there are almost too many to count.
- In West Vancouver, just off of John Lawson Park, there are lovely trees close to the Ambleside Pier on Argyle Avenue.
- Also in West Van, at Memorial Park, there are a few particularly stoic cherry blossoms.
- On Taylor Way, on the grass island, there are rows of eye-catching cherry blossoms with their vibrant flowers.
- In the City of North Vancouver, at the municipal hall on14th Street near Lonsdale Avenue, there is a fine-looking ornamental cherry.
This is by no means a complete list of where cherry blossoms can be enjoyed on the North Shore, as many of the best places are in the gardens of those who lovingly care for them year-round. Hopefully, this will help get you into the swing of spring as we all get some well-deserved sunshine to start the season.

Correction, April 1, 2022:
An earlier version of this article noted a row of older ornamental cherry trees on 23rd Street, at the edge of Norseman Park. In fact, the trees were removed by the City of North Vancouver in late March to make way for construction of the new Harry Jerome Community Recreation Centre.
