Beverly Gardens Park, park in California, United States of America

Beverly Gardens Park is a green space in California featuring well-maintained lawns and planted trees throughout the grounds. The space includes walking paths and open areas designed for outdoor activities and recreation.

Beverly Gardens Park opened in 1911 on land that was part of Rancho Rodeo de las Aguas. Landscape architect Ralph D. Cornell designed the linear park, which runs 1.9 miles along Santa Monica Boulevard and separates the residential north side from the commercial sections of the city.

The park's name comes from Beverly Hills itself, not from its developers; the land was part of Rancho Rodeo de las Aguas before the park opened in 1911. Twice a year, on the third weekends of May and October, the central blocks host the Beverly Hills Art Show, where about 250 selected artists display work and up to 50,000 visitors attend.

The park runs 1.9 miles along Santa Monica Boulevard, from Doheny Drive to Whittier Drive, as a narrow strip between the road and the residential blocks. Enter on foot at any cross street; the Beverly Hills sign and the Electric Fountain at Wilshire Boulevard mark the western end. The central blocks host the art fair on the third weekend of May and October.

The Beverly Hills sign in the park is a re-creation of the original arching, lighted historic sign, placed near the city's center. The park also holds a permanent public art collection, including Yayoi Kusama's psychedelic tulip sculpture Hymn to Life near Rodeo Drive.
