Boulevard Recreation Ground electric railway station was the third of five calling points on the 1+14 miles (2.0 km) eastern, "street" section[2][3] of the inter-urban[4] Grimsby and Immingham Electric Railway when travelling from Corporation Bridge, Grimsby to Immingham Dock.[5]

The halt was called "Boulevard Recreation Ground" on timetables, but was shown as "Beeson Street" on tickets.[6] The adjacent passing loop was also known as "Beeson Street"
