There is a strip of grass along the front of the park designated for parking. The park is fully enclosed and has bathrooms, large pavilion with a grill, swings, two slightly covered playgrounds, basketball court, toy car track, corn hole and more. You are required to bring your own basketball and bean bags for corn hole. My grandson's have a great time playing at this park.

I myself think that's awesome in California you would never find that. I'll post some fun facts about the park. John Wesley Griffin was one of the original residents of the subdivision of Beverly Hills. He was named after the co-founder of the Methodist Church, John Wesley. He was born October 1, 1888 in Sylvania, GA. He and his brother Sam moved to Groveland in the 1930's and John became the personal chauffeur to J. Ray Arnold Saw Mill. He was instrumental in getting amenities, such as clay packed streets and running water, to the Beverly Hills subdivision. He also managed the play park and Edgewood Cemetery from 1945 to 1948. He served in World War I and was the Lake County School District representative for Edgewood. Beverly Hills was started in 1945 by developer Charlie J. Anderson. Beverly Park was established by John Wesley Griffin in 1951 after asking Mr. Anderson to set aside several lot spaces for a place where children could play. Mr. Anderson in turn asked Mr. Griffin to manage and be the caretaker for the area. He did this over the next 20 years and passed on the responsibilities to the Caple family. Lacy and Mary Caple managed the property until their children grew up. They then donated the land to the City of Groveland and the property was named Beverly Park.
