Greystone Estate

The Greystone Mansion, built in 1927-28, was formally dedicated to the City of Beverly Hills in 1971 to serve as a public park. Today the estate, placed on the Register of Historic Places, is the location for a myriad of cultural activities and events, as well as peaceful picnic grounds. The courtyard features a restored fountain and the renovated pool area can accommodate up to 150 guests for a seated reception and the terrace, 60 guests. Since the late 1950's, Greystone has also been a prime filming location for the local entertainment industry.
