LAX Airport Parking and Beverly Gardens Park

The Beverly Gardens Park is found along Santa Monica and Wilshire boulevards once you leave LAX airport parking and get into Beverly Hills. The park is a nice attraction in Beverly Hills, especially with so much to see here.

Things to do at the park

Beverly Gardens Park features many cultural and art showcases throughout the year, including the popular "Affaire In the Gardens" art show in the third weekends of May and October. There is also a cactus Garden, Rose Garden, fountains, jogging and walking paths, and arbors to keep you busy while you are here.

At the southwest end of the park, the Electric Fountain is lit by a light show at night. It is modest by modern standards, but when it was built in 1931, it used state-of-the-art technology. This was the fountain that Alicia Silverstone walked by when she realized she loved Josh in the movie Clueless.

The rose garden is a little small, located near Elm Street. There are more colorful flower beds throughout the park. The cactus garden is the real attraction, as it is one of the largest collections in he world. This garden takes up an entire block from Camden Drive to Bedford Drive.

Finally, there is the bronze statue in the middle of the park, called Hunter and Hounds. This statue comes from a banker who went to France to visit the spot where his son was killed in World War I. At the site, he saw the statue with bullet holes from the battle, and had it shipped back to Beverly Hills. Every year, there are memorial services each Armistice Day to commemorate the soldiers.
