About this place

Added by Chandler Schoonmaker

Amazing views. Makes you feel like you're out of the city. Popular park.

Located right underneath the St Johns Bridge, Cathedral Park is hard to miss. It was given its name due to the Gothic looking arches that sit above the park.

This is one of my personal favorite places to photograph especially if you enjoy photographing bridges. This park can be crowded or have events so just be aware of others when you are there.
