West Hollywood’s Arts Division unveiled its newest art exhibit, “Remembering Beverly Park,” on Tuesday, Feb. 12, at 7 p.m. in the West Hollywood Library Community Meeting Room.
The exhibit features 20 images of the amusement park, which operated from 1943 through 1974 at the corner of Beverly and La Cienega boulevards, where the Beverly Center is currently located. The photographs are from the new book, “Beverly Park: The Kiddieland that Inspired Walt Disney,” by author and historian Jay Jennings.
Information for the book was sourced from the personal archives of Beverly Park owner Dave Bradley.
Beverly Park was a fun family destination known as a gathering place for birthday parties. It was also popular for celebrity sightings and attractions including a Ferris wheel, merry-go-round, roller coaster and boat rides.
The exhibit will be on view on the first floor of the West Hollywood Library, 625 N. San Vicente Blvd. For information, visit weho.org/arts.
