East Greenwich Pleasaunce, Park and naval cemetery in Greenwich, England.

East Greenwich Pleasaunce combines formal gardens with tree-lined paths, featuring mock orange, hawthorn, silver birch, ash, and variegated holly among its varied vegetation.

The site opened in 1857 as Greenwich Hospital Cemetery and contains the remains of 3,000 sailors transferred in 1875 due to railway construction.

The park maintains memorials dedicated to 19 Commonwealth naval personnel from World War I and two from World War II, preserving maritime heritage.

The grounds include a children's playground, table tennis facilities, a community center called The Bridge, and a cafe with restroom access.

The name Pleasaunce derives from the former Royal Palace of Placentia, connecting the park to centuries of Greenwich maritime traditions.
