Parque Rodó is both a barrio (neighbourhood or district) of Montevideo, Uruguay and a park which lies mostly outside the limits of the barrio itself and belongs to Punta Carretas. The name "Rodó" has been given in memory of José Enrique Rodó, an important Uruguayan writer whose monument is in the southern side of the main park.

The park

On the north side of the main park is an artificial lake with a little castle housing a municipal library for children. An area to its west is used as an open-air exhibition of photography.
