Praça Roosevelt is a public square in São Paulo, Brazil. Construction of the square began in 1968 and was completed in 1970.[1] After decades of decline, the square was renovated in 2011–12.[2] A second renovation to expand the skate park on Praça Roosevelt was completed in November 2014.[3][4]
Praça Roosevelt is located between Rua da Consolação and Rua Augusta at the beginning of the Minhocão elevated highway in downtown São Paulo.
