Fast answer

Beverly Gardens Park is a 1.9-mile linear park along Santa Monica Boulevard in Beverly Hills. The classic visitor frame is the Beverly Hills Sign and Lily Pond, but the full park includes fountains, specialty gardens, arbors, public art, and a walking path.

How to approach it

Start at the sign and lily pond for the iconic photo, then use the decomposed granite path to continue toward the Cactus Garden, Rose Garden, Electric Fountain, Doheny Fountain, and nearby public art.

What to pair it with

The park pairs naturally with Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills City Hall, the hotel district, and the semiannual Beverly Hills Art Show when it is in season.
