Beverly Gardens Park, Los Angeles

Beverly Gardens Park, spanning a length of 22 city blocks, runs alongside Santa Monica Boulevard in Beverly Hills, covering a distance of 1.9 miles (3.1 kilometers). This beautiful park was designed by the renowned landscape architect, Ralph D. Cornell.

The park serves as a lush green buffer zone between the residential neighborhoods to the north and the commercial districts of the city. It offers a two-mile jogging trail, features numerous centuries-old cypress and ficus trees, boasts various gardens and sculptures, and is home to the iconic Beverly Hills Sign 鈥� a recreation of the original historic sign that once graced the city's center.

Within the park, you'll find a permanent collection of public art, including the Electric Fountain situated at the far western end where Santa Monica and Wilshire Boulevards intersect. Close to Rodeo Drive, there's a sculpture titled "Hymn to Life," crafted by Yayoi Kusama, featuring psychedelic tulips. This piece was sculpted and produced by Mat McKim and Nick Petronzio in the art department at Ironwood.

In addition to these contemporary artworks, the park showcases public art by notable sculptors such as Barry Flanagan, Tony Smith, and Magdalena Abramovicz, strategically placed around the grounds near Beverly Hills City Hall. Furthermore, historical fountains, arbors, and specialty gardens dedicated to roses, cacti, succulents, and palms adorn the north side of Santa Monica Boulevard, extending from Doheny Drive to Whittier Drive, visible to both motorists and pedestrians.
