Cleethorpes Pier Gardens is a Victorian-era public park located along the Central Promenade in Cleethorpes. The gardens feature a landscaped green space designed for leisure, including an 18-hole crazy golf course. It provides direct access to the Cleethorpes Pier and the adjoining sandy beach. The site is characterized by mature trees, formal flower beds, and benches overlooking the North Sea. It serves as a connector between the resort's commercial seafront and the local residential areas. The layout retains elements of its original 19th-century design, reflecting the town's history as a seaside destination.
