The Greystone mansion sits on several acres of beautifully landscaped grounds and is a true gem within the city of Beverly Hills. It was built on 12.58 acres acquired in 1926 by the Doheny family. In 1955 the mansion was sold with plans to subdivide and demolish the structure. The city of Beverly Hills negotiated to purchase the mansion and has since converted the grounds into a park. The park was formally dedicated and added to the Department of Interior’s National Register of Historic places in 1971. The Greystone Mansion and park is located off of Loma Vista Dr. north of Sunset Blvd. in Beverly Hills. The Greystone Park and Mansion is open daily and is free to the public on open park days; however, it is occasionally closed for special events, weddings, and filming.
