Parque Rodó
This riverside city park has an artificial lake, an amusement park and a Sunday market, and it lies across from Ramírez Beach.
Parque Rodó is named after the Uruguayan writer José Enrique Rodó and sits beside the coastal boulevard in the Parque Rodó neighborhood. The park has an artificial lake with a small island and pedal boats, an old amusement park, an open-air theater, and a Sunday craft and secondhand market. It is a weekend leisure spot for local families. Across the coastal boulevard to the south is Ramírez Beach, and the National Museum of Visual Arts is right next door to the east. Admission is free, and the park can be combined with the museum and a bike ride along the coastal boulevard.
