Will Rogers Memorial Park

Beautiful place to relax under the palms, and escape to find a quiet moment. This park provides a very low key environment, and is a wonderful place. At night the path is lit up with beautiful lights. This place is small in size, but has a lot to offer.

I do my early morning jog before everyone wakes up because WRMP is the closes park by me and it is a nice little park. I think City of BH can do a better job keeping it cleaner, but let’s face it, many tourist come here and many filming crews do filming here so it’s difficult to always keep it in tip top shape. Yes, it is the famous George Michael restroom, oh well… Not something anyone want to be remembered as. Be honest, I like George Michael. He is a great musician and artist, and I don’t care what anyone thinks otherwise. YES, I live here in the city of BH and I like everything nice too. So yo, please keep our WRMP clean. Thank you. =)

What a cute little gem.
My first time in LA as an adult, I was go-​go-​go for three days. Then I realized, «hey, I’m on vacation, I should *rest*.» I found this park across from the Beverly Hills Hotel, and thought «cool!» Laid down for an hour, got some good, peaceful rest far enough from Sunset Blvd to not hear much traffic.
I’ve been here several times since then. With all the surrounding land taken up by classic BH mansions, it’s nice that the city fathers set aside this triangle for a public park. Named after the city’s first mayor, who had memorable sayings such as «I’m not a part of any organized political party; I’m a Democrat.»
Convenient location, good parking, beautiful landscaping, welcoming atmosphere. Not too good for organized sports, and you don’t want kids kicking the ball toward that big road near the hotel. But great for photo shoots, picnics, taking a breather while pushing the baby stroller, resting during a bike ride, or a low-​key date. Or just relaxing.

considering this is BH, this small patch of grass is pretty crappy for the following reasons:
— fountain is filled with moldy water
— park is swarming in ants — look closer
— some of the grass areas are muddy
but the nice thing is the one cherry blossom tree and the grass.

Very cute park in Beverly Hills across the St from the Beverly Hills hotel, down the road from Rodeo Dr. It has a nice little pond or lake idk what to call it lol, fish in the water, nice trees, a row of lovely peach colored roses… Came here with my dog and nephew, my dog had fun and I took some nice pix.

Love this park! Where else would you find an open public park thats always clean, peaceful, few people, and… turtles, coy fish, and ducks! Turtles are so cute… The flowers and trees are well taken care of and the fountain well maintained. And just being in Beverly Hills is just flat out nice.

Nice park across from the Beverly Hills Hotel. Be careful when crossing the street around here because the park is surrounded by busy streets.
Wild life varies. A year or so ago there were baby ducklings here but they aren’t there anymore. Now there are turtles and there are also always koi fish in the pond. It’s a bit murky but you can still see the wildlife.
The fountain is beautiful and, in fact, I’ve seen many a photographer film their subjects here. The park is also very clean and well-​maintained.
There are lots of benches surrounding the fountain and people bring their dogs too. There’s also lots of grass so it’s a nice place to have a picnic.
This isn’t a park with a playground for kids so if you are looking for that it’s not here.

Very clean park. it is BH. We can’t expect any less.
Perfect place to bring the pooches or just be in your lonesome with a book.
The only downside of this would be is that is in the middle of two roads basically. It is an island park. It’s a park where coldwater canyon and beverly hills meet. I’m not sure how it is in the middle of the day but I know for a fact that there are a lot of cars, even traffic, on rush hours.

I’ve literally been to every local park and walk I can think of to take my beautiful Christmas (puppy)…this includes and is not limited to: Runyon Canyon (ugh, hot, dirty, unrelenting sun/​heat), Griffith Park (transient, vast, overcrowded), Santa Monica (overrated, too many cars), the dog park at Laurel Canyon (NIGHTMARE, «playful» and aggressive dogs, would NEVER bring a small breed there without being on guard the ENTIRE time)***
Nothing comes close to this place. It is captivating and small, quiet, and the perfect place to be early in the morning. My baby can sit in the sun, take a nap, mix & mingle with the occasional pooch and just be. I don’t think I have ever seen him as happy as he is when we are here. Great place to enjoy the peace, take a gander at the beauty, the koi pond, the palms, the light breeze. Try to come early in the morning and early in your day and I can assure you it will be memorable. Great place to meditate, yoga, tai chi, bring a coffee, sit, think and just be.

How do you not give this place 5 stars? Free & easy parking on the side streets, semi-​clean bathrooms and absolutely gorgeous, huge fountain! Hard to believe that I’ve driven past this little beauty literally hundreds of times and never even noticed it! Oh, Unilocal,you rock so hard at showing people all the awesome stuff they drive past every day!
One review said the water in the fountain is murky. Well, ok, it’s not CRYSTAL CLEAR, but you can still easily see the fish. It doesn’t detract from the gorgeousness of the fountain/​pond at all.
This is an absolutely PERFECT spot for a picnic. Lots & lots of wide open, grassy spaces, all with a view of the fountain. Adorable, pretty little park. Absolutely going back for a picnic!

This is unseen little park right in the middle of the million dollar manson of Beverly Hills… i liked it, it’s a nice quiet place to relax and get away for a little bit and the scenery is nice and it’s not to crowded…

Not quite sure how I feel about this one. The park itself is gorgeous. Lots of trees, roses and the sidewalks are paved with gold. Not really but might as well be. It looks like it belongs in movie. Its not very big and there isn’t a play area for children.
Its smack in the middle of Beverly Hills at a pretty wierd intersection. This is more of a leisurely park and I suppose that’s why the locals looked at me as if I was crazy for bringing weights and a jump rope. :-) I’d come here for a romantic picnic but not recommended for workouts and /​or playdates.

What a difference a year makes.
I was here last August, when the space was under renovation, all torn up.
Now the work is complete and Will Rogers Park is back in business. And it could never be less than beautiful, it is what it is. However, it is not nearly as nice as it was before they messed with it, as I feared.
The once colorful koi pond is now a murky pool.
I strained to see only one fish through the brownish water. Maybe that was their plan, to protect the critters, but it looks just awful.
As far as the rest of the space, I don’t see how it’s been improved. It looks the same, except now the pathway is pavers, hardly a noticeable change.
The bathroom is exactly the same, inside.
And I’m forever grateful for this potty on Sunset, cuz where else ya gonna pee in that section of Beverly Hills without invading the hotel across the street.
At least no major changes were made to the majestic trees that grace this small space.
Thank God for small favors…
So, generally… the improvements, imo, were mostly a waste.
The good news is that it could have been worse.

I don’t know where the fish went but the hottest chick gave me her number here today. :)

Small, but very pretty. This park was opened in 1915 as Sunset Park, a gift from the Beverly Hills Hotel across the street, and later named after WR, honorary mayor of BH.
It is in an odd triangle shape between some busy (for Sunset blvd. area, in Beverly hills) intersections, though parking is a snap .And you can easily find a spot for two hours around the park. This park has grassy areas (as most parks do), but it also has a nice decomposed granite path throughout (like my beloved Hyde Park), many different types of plants, and a beautiful fountain. It boasts clean restrooms, as well… though the thought of George Michael getting busted here, may make you feel a wee bit dirty.
The perimeter of the park has a sidewalk, which if you run around it a little over three times=one mile. And for lack of a track near my house, and for lack of sidewalks actually… this place foots the bill for workingout or for sitting in the sunshine enjoying the mild Beverly Hills weather.
plus…
hungry? There are apparently rotating taco trucks at lunchtime taking shifts on the N. Canon Drive side.
