Beverly Park, Amusement park in Los Angeles, United States
Beverly Park was an amusement park in Los Angeles offering roller coasters, carnival rides, and game booths spread across its grounds. The facility included food vendors and refreshment areas situated throughout the property.
The park opened in 1943 at the corner of Beverly Boulevard and La Cienega and operated for three decades. Its closure in 1974 reflected changing entertainment trends in Los Angeles during that period.
The park served as a gathering place where families could enjoy rides and games without committing to an expensive day pass. Visitors appreciated the freedom to experience only what interested them most.
The park operated on a pay-per-ride basis rather than charging a general admission fee, giving visitors control over their spending. Families could decide how much time and money to invest based on their interests.
The park introduced the first Tilt-A-Whirl ride to Los Angeles and pioneered carnival games that became industry standards. These innovative attractions set trends that other venues later adopted.
