The 11 best public squares in Beverly Hills

Specifically visited Beverly Hills garden sign but Rodeo Drive is only a 10-minute walk from the garden. Right behind the Beverly Hills garden sign, you will find the iconic palm tree neighborhood for your iconic picture. There's also a very beautiful, huge tree right behind the sign and a garden of roses that are very well maintained. I got to the garden sign about 3:30 p.m during a week day and there were a lot of people waiting to take a picture but by 5:30 pm there was nobody there. So if you don't want to have a crowd go later on in the evening. Very nice neighborhood and homes. I believe there was a restroom down the way. Not very much to do besides taking in the scenery and tourist sites.

Beverly Hills Garden Park, often referred to as Beverly Gardens Park, is a beautifully landscaped green space that stretches along Santa Monica Boulevard in the heart of Beverly Hills, California. Spanning nearly two miles, the park features elegant walking paths, colorful flower beds, striking sculptures, and the iconic Beverly Hills sign—a popular photo spot for visitors from around the world. The park also showcases themed gardens, including the Cactus Garden and Rose Garden, offering a peaceful escape amid the city’s glamour. Throughout the year, it hosts community events like the Beverly Hills Art Show, drawing artists and visitors alike. With its blend of natural beauty, art, and Hollywood charm, Beverly Hills Garden Park perfectly captures the city’s refined yet welcoming spirit.

I cane to the Beverly Hills art festival and it did not disappoint. There was so much great art 🖼️, food trucks , live music 🎵 and wine garden. You definitely have to come this weekend and check it out . Trust me you’re going to have fun there so many large trees that give off great shade with this autumn 🍂 warm weather. It was so much fun uploading the pictures and videos I took .

Beautiful shady park on Santa Monica Blvd with benches bathrooms statues sculptures and art. Across the street from Beverly Hills City hall Beverley Hills civic center & Beverly center. The Beverly Hills sign with pond and beautiful water lilies. We came see experience the 5000 mile elephant migration exhibit. Amazing Here until July 30 2025

Went to see the elephant art display Really nice little park in the middle of the city. Almost like a refuge.... The fig trees were incredible and the weather was perfect. Beautiful neighborhoods and homes in the area .nice selection of shops and restaurants (of course there the famous Rodeo Drive her also!)

This park is such a peaceful green space right in the heart of Beverly Hills. It’s perfect for a break between shopping or sightseeing and it has plenty of shaded areas and benches. The landscaping is immaculate and the location could not be better.

Great Elephant Migration July 1 - Aug 1 2025, 100 Elephants strolling along Santa Monica Blvd. Great way to spend an hour. Small gift stand located in the parking lot of the Annenberg Center. Elephants are very realistic made from invasive plants in their native habitats. Great for kids and adults

Greystone Mansion is such a peaceful and beautiful place to visit. The gardens are well maintained, full of greenery and flowers, making it a perfect spot for a calm walk or quiet time. The historic architecture of the mansion adds a special charm, and it feels like stepping back in time. Entry is free, which makes it even better. Parking can sometimes be a little tricky, but once inside, the relaxing atmosphere and scenic views are totally worth it. ✨ A hidden gem in Beverly Hills — highly recommended for nature lovers, history enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a serene escape.

Nice gardens. wonderful scenery. parking is free but limited. we went there on weekdays so it wasn't busy. very instragamble backdrops. seen many couples taking wedding/pre-wedding pictures there. once can reserve the place to do it in advance and get to take pictures inside the Manson as well. there are many events and shows happening if interested. Nice visit if you have little extra time to spend.

Beautiful park and gardens on the Grounds of the historic mansion. I had fun exploring the grounds and staircases. Some areas were closed due to a wedding. I will have to return sometime soon to tour the inside of the mansion. Parking and admission are free.

Visiting Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills felt like stepping into another world. The Tudor-style estate is stunning, but it was the gardens that captivated me most. Walking along stone paths past fountains and lily ponds, with sweeping views of Los Angeles, was peaceful and inspiring. I didn’t go inside the mansion itself, but even from the outside its history and grandeur were obvious. What I loved most was how calm it felt—far removed from the bustle of the city. With free entry and parking, it’s a beautiful escape I’d gladly return to.

Nice gardens. wonderful scenery. parking is free but limited. In weekdays difficult. we went there on weekdays afternoon so it wasn't busy. very instragamble backdrops. seen many couples taking wedding/pre-wedding pictures there. Going up to see from near house not allowed when we reach due to some construction work. Nice visit if you have little extra time to spend.

Greystone Mansion is one of the most beautiful locations to photograph in Los Angeles. The architecture, gardens, and grand staircases create stunning backdrops in every direction. It’s perfect for engagements, weddings, and luxury portraits.

The Greystone Estate is such a beautiful and historic spot. The gardens are expansive and very well maintained with lovely views of the city. Even if you don’t go inside the mansion the grounds alone are worth the visit for a peaceful walk and gorgeous photo ops.

One of the "best kept secrets" in Beverly Hills! Stunning estate with 5 distinct gardens. Plants from all over the world. Breathtaking views. The estate home is pristine, with decor and artwork just as Mrs. Robinson left it.

What a spectacular find hidden on the middle of Beverly Hills. Gorgeous grounds, unique history, a really special day touring the grounds. You must have a reservation to go on the tour.

Virginia Robinson Gardens is a true oasis in the heart of Los Angeles. The gardens are stunningly beautiful, rich in history, and feature magnificent architecture. I was impressed by the variety of plants and flowers, which create a unique atmosphere and bring a sense of tranquility. Visiting the historic house was a special delight; it retains an authentic ambiance and the spirit of past eras. The tour was informative and interesting, with guides sharing many fascinating facts about Virginia Robinson and her contribution to creating this place. It's important to note that visits must be booked in advance through their official website, and ticket prices start at $15. I also had the chance to attend a sound meditation session for $35. Everything was great, but the meditation was held indoors, and the floor was cold. Unfortunately, the yoga mat didn't help with this issue. Nonetheless, I highly recommend Virginia Robinson Gardens to anyone looking to spend time outdoors, enjoying the beauty of nature and historical landmarks.

Adopting from Tiny Teacup Yorkie was fast, easy, and delightful! The website is thoughtfully designed, offering clear steps to complete the adoption. From browsing adorable puppies to finalizing the paperwork, the process was smooth and efficient. Their helpful team made everything so easy, and we quickly welcomed our Yorkie into our home!.

Gardens were wonderful. Over 100 years old place. Guide was precise and never boring. Wish there are more

WORST EXPERIANCE EVER RUINED MY WEDDING DAY!!!!!!! APRIL WALTON THE MANAGER: If I could give zero stars, I would. From the very beginning, April was beyond rude and completely unprofessional. She does not own this place but acts like she does, with no respect or compassion for clients. On what was supposed to be the happiest day of my life, standing there in my wedding dress, she made me cry because of how dismissive and nasty she was. April ruined my day with her attitude and lack of care. She clearly only cares about herself and not the couples who are trusting this place with their special moments. No bride should ever have to go through what I went through. If you are planning a photoshoot or event here, save yourself the heartbreak and look elsewhere. No one deserves to have their memories tainted by someone as unkind and unprofessional as April. Honestly, she should not even be working here.

Amazing tour honoring a fascinating woman!! The place is stunning and serene.

Really enjoyed that terrain. Unfortunately, the visitor center has been closed with funding shortages, but the grounds are marvelous. The water is lovely and there are ducks and turtles and Koi in the pond as well as wonderful old growth trees.

Ended up at this park just from driving around after having a great lunch at the hideaway in Beverly hills, it was really nice, we unloaded the bikes rode around for about 1 hour had a blast

Great area for hiking and picnicing. We're so fortunate to have such a beautiful spot here in Los Angeles.

Turtle sanctuary. A hidden forest spot, great to be close to nature and tranquility. 🐢🌳🌿

This review is not a reflection on Franklin Canyon Park, which is a beauty and 5 star treasure but a bad rating on the ever disappointing LADWP of keeping the North Gate closed for almost 2 years now. While there was severe erosion damage on Lake Drive south of Franklin Cyn Lake, this issue is different. The erosion damage that LADWP and the Park Management claims is responsible for the continued closure of the North Gate is ridiculous and could be repaired much faster if there would be a desire to do so. Some might suspect that this is more politically motivated to find a reason to keep the park locked for through traffic. A similar example is the closure of Griffith Park Drive between Travel Town and the composting facility towards Wilson/ Harding Golf Course for "bicycle safety reasons". I'm not a conspiracy theorist but it's undeniable that LA City is on a roll on making people's access to parks more and more difficult whenever a chance presents itself. So let's see and wait if the Franklin Cyn North Gate ever opens again or the permanent closure is announced at one convenient point. At this point there's no effort visible on repairing the minor damage in this one location, a few sand bags and traffic cones is LADWP's best effort in 2 years, really?

This park is a traffic ticket trap! Cameras and video recording everywhere. Avoid at all costs. You will get a letter to pay or be sent to collections. Not worth the hassle. Other awesome parks in SoCal to visit without the invasion of privacy. Tinted windows, crack in windshield, roll through stop sign, double park, dog poops without clean up, any of these minor violations, you will see a ticket. Cameras follow you. Good luck!

Reasonably nice. Great to see the lake and the turtles. Good for a family walk. Many trails to choose from but advise. If you have small kids avoid the Blinderman trail. It is very steep going up and coming down. Stick to the other trails which are not too steep. Nice views all-round from different locations if you can go up the trails Parking is free. NICE!

Cute little park right across from the Beverly Hills Hotel. It’s quiet, clean, and a nice spot to relax after walking around the area. The fountain is lovely, there were turtles chilling in it when I visited. Overall, a sweet place for a short break.

We stopped around the park to check it out in May. The park is clean, and often tourist vans stop over as well. It has some ponds with fish to see and indications of trivia within the park. It is rather quiet and provides a limited view over the Beverly Hills Hotel. Toilet is clean and there are people working continuously to keep it spot on. I’m not sure if I would recommend it for a stop over, it is clean but not wow.

Will Rogers Memorial Park in Beverly Hills is a charming oasis with lush greenery, a tranquil fountain, and colorful flowers. It's perfect for a relaxing stroll, a quiet picnic, or enjoying serene views. A hidden gem in the city!

This is a wonderful place to relax and hang out. It's one of the cleanest and safest parks in all of LA. I really enjoyed watching the fish that were swimming in the fountain! Very peaceful! Definitely a place where you can walk around or sit. There's plenty of parking and you can also take the number 2 Metro bus that lets you off on Sunset Blvd. The entire park is wheelchair accessible and there is a restroom that is also accessible and very clean. The groundskeepers do a very good job keeping this park in good shape. I highly recommend visiting.

It's beautiful as it is, and as peaceful as it is seeing the turtles and fish in the ponds, I was confronted by a bom calling me names and talking to themselves and then talking to me and then talking back to themselves and then yelling at other people. One was a woman with two small children and he was yelling at her and calling her names as well, and then another friend of his came up and joined in with him. I would not recommend this place as a result of the transients hanging out in there verbally assaulting anyone that goes by. He also ran off two tourists from Australia (because he asked them and they told him they were from Australia) but he made a comment that because of the way they looked they didn't look Australian and they were speaking a Middle Eastern language. It was just embarrassing. So sad right across from the Beverly Hills hotel in such a beautiful little park, and they ruined it for everybody.

A small but very nice public garden in the middle of an opulent area. The pond of fish and terrapins rack make it.

Has been here for like 110 years. There are lunch trucks that serve food here.

Sweet park to grab a cup of coffee or take pictures. We took a small rest here while exploring the area on a sunny day!

Beautiful venue with underground parking, amazing courtyard, coffee House bar and restaurant. European style. Concerts for free on the lawn.

Beverly Canon Gardens is a peaceful oasis in the heart of Beverly Hills. With lush greenery, beautiful fountains, and a relaxing atmosphere, it’s a perfect spot for a quiet stroll or a peaceful break from the city.

I love it it's quiet and you can have your coffee in peace. Yeah Italian might run into some tourists but it's mostly Beverly hills locals and people staying at the maybourne hotel. There are coffee shop, restaurants and sometimes it's nice to get away from the superficial ruckus most people seek from Beverly.

Great place for evening walks and talks. It is calm here. Atmosphere of luxury and aristocracy. Visit this place during the day or night time and you will not regret. Take some snacks to enjoy them on the soft lawn in the center of the park. Sounds of gurgling fountain water will hypnotize you. Enjoy your time here folks.

Nice small garden for outdoor seatings and pictures. Securities offer to take my pictures. All very kind!

Usually here to meet up with my long time friend. Best time is now for the holidays 🎄 Met my daughter and grandson. Took a few pictures and walked over to the tree lighting event ♥️

Coldwater Canyon Park is a delightful mini-retreat in Beverly Hills—ideal for families, joggers, or anyone craving a peaceful green escape. Small but well-equipped, it’s perfect for light hikes, playdates, and leisurely afternoons. Just keep parking limitations and occasional paparazzi in mind.

Absolutely perfect for walking and jogging! The playground is a fantastic spot for families, and the park features clean bathrooms for convenience. The beautiful gardens are a real highlight, creating a serene atmosphere. Plus, it feels very safe, and there’s plenty of free street parking available. Highly recommend!

It is interesting that there is a jogging path in this park. There are many beautiful flowers, a beekeeper and a hummingbird. Unfortunately I didn't find a toilet in this park.

Very popular place for families to have picnic and to share valuable outdoor time with their children, and for babysitting nannies. Green and lovely! On a border of Beverly Hills. There’s a playground with swings, and a preschool. I drive by it all the time on my way to Franklin Canyon Park where I hike 5 times a week. Coldwater Canyon Park is usually pretty busy. Busier on weekends, of course. There’s also small track for runners on the other side of the street.

Small park with playground and preschool. Street parking. No parking lot. Two shaded picnic table areas, each with two tables. Reserved events are limited to thirty people per Beverly Hills parks and rec. Public restroom by the playground and preschool. Playground was gated. Two main play structures - for toddlers and older children. Both structures have shade coverage. Swings separate. Around the playground but within the gate were benches shaded by plants and a cover (see images). Very quaint. Was not too crowded on a Friday afternoon. As another review mentioned, I didn't notice a river area for kids water play anymore.

This is a great park for relaxing and enjoying the fresh air. It’s quiet, clean, and surrounded by nature, making it a perfect place to take a walk, sit on a bench, or spend time with family. I enjoyed my visit and would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful outdoor spot.

Such a beautiful park & absolutely beautiful area. There's a little sand box, swings, fun jungle gym & beautiful green scenery. I sat down to do some work on the picnic benches & have a little snack time , which is very nice to have! Very big park right in the heart of Beverly Hills!

There are plenty of beautiful people about enjoying great spectacle. Drove past at first and returned after my trip. I turned around to stop and go up close. Wouldn't miss it . On a sunny day, the security around area made it feel safe around the area. The Great Elephant Migration event was fantastic to see coming from India 🇮🇳 😀 to Beverly Hills. Signs are all around in the area, all looking good. #People #Spectacle #Trip #Day #Security #Event #India #BeverlyHills #Signs

The Beverly Hills sign is a great spot for photos! Located in Beverly Gardens Park, it’s easy to reach and makes a perfect backdrop with the palm trees and pond. Nice place to take a stroll and capture that classic Beverly Hills vibe.

Nice sign around the pond. worth the visit. lots of places to go by foot/bike. Rodeo Drive is walkable distance. Parking: we parked in Beverly hill library which offers first 2hr free(no in and out), later every half hour $1. daily max $16. it's withing a mile or so from the sign. and little over a mile from Rodeo drive. Pro tip: visit either early morning or in afternoon for best pictures and less crows. but won't spot celebrity, if that's in you bucket list.

I’m not sure what to say really? It’s a lovely sign and I enjoyed stopping there on our tour to have a picture, there was parking next to it which was pretty full but we luckily got a space. It seemed well maintained and was quite busy with people taking pictures. You could also find a route 66 sign there if that’s something that would interest you??

The Beverly Hills Sign is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Los Angeles, symbolizing the glamour and allure of this world-famous city. Located in Beverly Gardens Park along Santa Monica Boulevard, the large, illuminated white letters spelling “Beverly Hills” are set against a serene reflecting pond surrounded by lush gardens and towering palm trees. Originally installed in the early 1900s, the sign has become a favorite spot for tourists and photographers, offering an iconic backdrop that captures the elegance and prestige of Beverly Hills. Whether visited during the day or beautifully lit at night, the Beverly Hills Sign remains a timeless emblem of Southern California’s luxury and charm.

Mum and I took a scenic tourist bus that drove us around Hollywood and Beverly Hills through Mulholland drive that lead to celebrity homes. From seeing Taylor swifts home, Shonda Rhimes, Michael Jackson’s, Bruno Mars, Sylvester Stallone’s, The Menendez brothers and many more ! . We learnt that the “poorest” part of Beverly Hills is worth 15 million- 30 million, where the “richest of the rich” homes are worth 130+ million🥹 The drive was absolutely breathtaking, seeing all the scenery, beautiful hills and nature. Swipe to the last picture to see which celebrity we saw whilst on our Bus trip 🤭

Iconic space in BH. The history behind it is really cool. The iconic Beverly Hills Sign was originally erected in 1931 as a promotional billboard to attract buyers to the area. Designed by Paul Manship, the sign, which stands in Beverly Gardens Park, has undergone several makeovers over the years, maintaining its status as a symbol of luxury and glamour.

Historical plaque inscription: On this site was the original inter-urban railway junction (circa 1897), named after the original Hammel & Denker ranch, which was subdivided in 1906 to create the City of Beverly Hills. It was an important hub to bring prospective homebuyers to the new City. The station was demolished in 1933 to make way for the new post office. A replacement station, named Beverly Hills, was built across the street in 1934. In early 1888, landowners and hoteliers Hammel & Denker envisioned a townsite called Morocco at what is today Beverly Hills. After the great land boom waned in late 1888, the proposed townsite never materialized. At the time, the railway line between Los Angeles and Santa Monica had little reason to stop for passengers in or around the area. Hammel & Denker sold their ranch land to Amalgamated Oil Company who began drilling for oil, which proved elusive. In 1906, the Rodeo Land & Water Company bought the Amalgamated holdings and planned a grand city with fine homes and landscaping. On November 14, 1906, the subdivision known as Beverly was recorded. One of the first substantial buildings constructed in the town was the stucco station depot called Beverly located on the east side of Canon Drive between Santa Monica Boulevard and South Santa Monica Boulevard. Beverly served as the junction of two lines that provided service from Los Angeles to the Santa Monica area, and it became a stop on the famous Balloon Route offered by the Los Angeles Pacific Electric Railway. In 1933, the original Beverly station was demolished to make way for the new post office, and a new station called Beverly Hills was built across street on the west side of Canon Drive in 1934. Service on the two interurban rail lines along this route ended in the early 1940s. The depot was later demolished and developed with a modern multi-story office building (1959) and parking structure.

Went to go see Love Actually live. What a great show. The parking was easy and great price. The seats were comfortable nice a cushy. Plenty of foot room. They had drinks for sale before after and during the show. Everyone was really nice and helpful. The bathrooms were clean and roomy. The show was absolutely amazing. Ten out of ten totally recommend this theater and show.

A beautiful historical theater. The entrance is built with lovely stone. Comfortable seats with great views of the stage from almost every angle. The interior of the theater has amazing wooden architecture.

Such a beautiful venue (historic)! I have seen many plays and productions there (my favorite being the Hershey Felder ones). Easy parking, too! Highly recommend!

Came for Frankenstein. Walking directions from Parking to Lovelace Studio Theater was not friendly. Love the warm ambience at the Lobby with easy pick up at the Box Office. BaskinBar @The Wallis has a nice selection of beverages while waiting. Friendly staff. Perhaps a first world problem: lack of ladies washroom cubicles. As usual in many theater, a queue is a common sight. There were two performances happening, the announcement that 10mins more til the show begins, led many visitors to a hush-hurry. The miscommunication was the announcer did not mentioned which show was particularly ready for seating. Frankenstein is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Looking forward to upcoming performances happening at The Wallis!

Went to see "The Old Man and the Old Moon" - we thoroughly enjoyed it. The facilities are top-notch, and our seats were upgraded for free (probably due to "very rainy evening=lower attendance"). The seats were comfortable, the sound was great, and it looks like every seat has a good sight line. The staff were friendly and helpful. There also have a beautifully landscaped exterior, with a 'waterfall wall' in a courtyard. The production itself was excellent - I enjoyed the "Band of Actors"; they combined live music, drama and some clever shadow puppetry to great effect, and the story was fun, engaging, riotously exciting at times, and thought-provoking. Well done.

Went to see Lee berger talk. I cannot complain beautiful place, nice acustics, excellent service, it was free including parking, and they give you bread and coffee at the end. Parking entrance is on Santa Monica Blvd South side of the building.
