Audio Guide of Roosevelt Park

Roosevelt Park does not have a fixed closing time; it is generally open 24 hours a day. It is a public space with completely free access, and you do not need any reservation. You can find more information on the Canelones Department website.

Good news! Admission to Roosevelt Park is completely free. It is a public space designed for everyone to enjoy. There are no fees or costs associated with access.

To explore Roosevelt Park at a relaxed pace, I would recommend spending at least 2 to 3 hours. That will give you time to walk along its paths, enjoy the greenery, and even have a picnic if you like. If you are visiting with children or planning a specific activity such as hiking or cycling, you could easily stay longer.

Roosevelt Park was inaugurated in 1944. Originally part of the wetlands of the Carrasco Stream, it was transformed into a public green space and named in honor of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Its importance lies in being one of the largest green lungs in the metropolitan area, a place for recreation and connection with nature for thousands of Uruguayans.

The best time to visit Roosevelt Park is during spring (September to November) or autumn (March to May), when the weather is milder and the park’s colors are at their brightest. If you are looking for peace and quiet, weekday mornings are ideal. Weekends, especially in the afternoon, are usually busier with more people enjoying the park.

In general, the main areas and well-maintained paths of Roosevelt Park are usually accessible. However, some more wooded areas or uneven ground may present difficulties. I recommend contacting the Canelones Department at 2185 5555 (general number) for more detailed information about the accessibility of specific paths and areas. The department contact page may also be useful.

Yes, Roosevelt Park is located in Ciudad de la Costa, which makes it easy to explore several nearby areas. You can extend your visit to the local beaches, such as the Ciudad de la Costa waterfront, ideal for watching the sunset, or stroll through a nearby shopping center. The area offers several options to round out your day.

To make the most of your visit, I suggest wearing comfortable shoes for walking or sports. Consider bringing water and something to eat if you plan to have a picnic. Do not forget sunscreen and insect repellent, especially in summer. And of course, bring a camera to capture the beauty of the landscape. Enjoy nature!
