Beverly Park was an amusement park located in Los Angeles, California, at the corner of Beverly Boulevard and La Cienega. Owned and operated by David Bradley from 1943 to 1974, it was considered an important source of attractions for children during the 1950s. It was also an important source of inspiration for Walt Disney who, following Bradley's example, later founded Disneyland.
The area welcomed a significant number of citizens and visitors, so Beverly Park and the other Kiddielands experienced popularity and success during their operating years.
