The Parque do Lazer is a green recreation area in Folgosa, in the parish of Folgosa, Armamar municipality. We found no reliable sources describing its facilities or when it was created, so only what is certain is stated: its location and setting.

Folgosa is the northernmost parish of the municipality and lies on the left bank of the Douro, in a landscape dominated by the river and by the estates that produce grapes for port and Douro wines. The village received a charter from King Sancho I in 1188. Nearby are the Quinta dos Frades, which belonged to the Salzedas Monastery from 1256, the river quay and the parish church of Nossa Senhora da Graça.

The park is about 4.9 km in a straight line north-east of the centre of Armamar and is reached by road heading down towards the Douro. The area is visited by those following the route of the Douro Vinhateiro estates and viewpoints. No opening-hours information is published.
