A pleasure garden is usually a garden that is open to the public typically for recreation. They differ from other public gardens in that they serve as venues for entertainment, variously featuring concert halls or bandstands, rides, zoos, and menageries.




The pleasure garden also forms one of the six parts of the 18th century "perfect garden"[citation needed], the others being the kitchen garden, an orchard, a park, an orangery or greenhouse, and a menagerie.
