Parque Tres de Febrero, also known as the Bosques de Palermo ("Palermo Woods"), is a green zone of 25 hectares located in the neighborhood of Palermo in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Located between the Casares and Libertador avenues. It is known for its groves, lakes, and rose gardens (El Rosedal), in whose design the architect Carlos Thays participated.

Many people use the park everyday, both on foot and bicycle, and this number increases greatly on the weekends. One can also take boat rides on the three artificial lakes within the park.

The city planetarium, Planetario Galileo Galilei, is located inside the park. Its architecture is distinctive—a sphere supported by three arches. In the projections that take place inside, you can observe the planets and the stars of the galaxy.

Also located in this area of the city are the Japanese Gardens, the Zoological Gardens and the Botanical Gardens, which meet at Plaza Italia, which is the center of the Palermo neighborhood and is located on Avenida Santa Fe.
