Plaza Simón Bolívar, Public square in Valparaíso, Chile

Plaza Simón Bolívar is a square in the El Almendral sector of Valparaíso, Chile, between the Santiago Severín Library and Plaza Victoria. It occupies the site left by the Teatro Victoria after the 1906 earthquake, and a children's playground operates in its central part. A giant Moreton Bay fig (Ficus macrophylla) planted on one side between 1910 and the late 1920s stands as a singular tree of the city.

The square occupies land that was beach until the 17th century and later held a bullring. It was created after the 1906 earthquake destroyed the Teatro Victoria on the north side of Plaza Victoria, leaving the space free. In 2011, under mayor Jorge Castro, works costing about 50 million pesos replaced the paving.

The square is named after Simón Bolívar, the military leader and hero of American independence. In its central part there is a children's playground, and on one side stands a giant rubber tree (Ficus macrophylla), a species native to the east coast of Australia, known as the "Gran Gomero" and considered a singular tree of the city.

The square is easily accessible on foot and offers plenty of space for walking and lingering. The pathways are well maintained and accessible to visitors of all mobility levels.
