Parque Roosevelt, Canelones, Cultural heritage park in Paso de Carrasco, Uruguay.

Parque Roosevelt covers about 1,492 hectares in Ciudad de la Costa and Paso Carrasco, next to the Montevideo border. Avenida Wilson Ferreira Aldunate, Avenida de las Américas and Avenida Giannattasio divide it into four sectors, from Paso Carrasco to the Río de la Plata. Its sandy soils carry dense woodland, with a lake and the Paseo Racine in the central sector.

Originally named Parque Nacional de Carrasco, it was Uruguay's first state park, established through a land donation from Alfredo García Lagos. This founding marked the beginning of a new approach to creating and protecting public recreational spaces in the country.

The park's name honours US president Franklin D. Roosevelt, adopted in 1945; since 2008 it has also been called Parque de los Derechos de los Niños y Niñas. The Criolla del Roosevelt, held in its own ruedo during Tourism Week, brings gauchos and traditional music to the grounds.

The park is split into four sectors by Avenida Wilson Ferreira Aldunate, Avenida de las Américas and Avenida Giannattasio, so crossing these roads is needed to move between areas. Bus line 109 terminates in the Paso Carrasco sector and the Criolla terminal serves buses entering the park. Part of the Paso Carrasco land is used by the Army, which reduces the public area there.

The park was shaped through systematic landscape work, including wetland drainage and large-scale tree planting with eucalyptus species. This project demonstrates how engineered green space became a beloved community gathering place.
