The Venetian Waterways is a seven-acre park comprising the Venetian waterways, ornamental gardens and a boating lake located by the sea in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.

They are situated just north of Great Yarmouth’s Golden Mile and the canals, otherwise known as the Venetian waterways, wind their way through the park. They are crossed and re-crossed by bridges with interlinked islands throughout. Alongside the waterways, there are numerous ornamental features and structures.
