A pleasure garden or amusement park, particularly one with entertainment venues, now historical; originally named after a location in London.
From Cremorne, a district in Chelsea, London, famous in the 19th century for its gardens and entertainment venues. The place name became generalized to describe similar establishments, similar to how 'nickelodeon' came from a price and venue type.
Cremorne Gardens in Victorian London were wildly popular—offering everything from fireworks to orchestral music to dancing—and the word 'cremorne' captures a now-vanished era of public entertainment before movies and theme parks.
