Parque Prado, Urban park in northern Montevideo, Uruguay.
The Parque Prado extends across 106 hectares, featuring tree-lined avenues, gardens, ponds, and the Miguelete Creek flowing through its grounds.
The park opened in 1873 as Montevideo's first major public recreational space, marking a significant development in the city's urban planning.
Two museums enrich the park: the Juan Manuel Blanes Museum in a Palladian villa and the Professor Atilio Lombardo Museum with its botanical collections.
Visitors can access multiple entrances from Agraciada Avenue, Lucas Obes Avenue, and Joaquín Suárez Avenue, with parking areas near main gates.
The Rosedal garden contains 12,000 roses imported from France in 1910, arranged around four pergolas, eight domes, and a central fountain.
