The Cova del Parco is located in the municipality of Alòs de Balaguer, in the spot known as les Roques Prenyades, and is declared a cultural asset of local interest. The surroundings present a landscape of limestone and conglomerate with steep relief carved by the incision of the river Segre; the cave lies above 420 metres above sea level and 120 metres above the riverbed. It is a single-gallery cavity, triangular in plan, 10.5 metres long by a maximum width of 4.5 metres at the entrance, which connects westward with a large rock shelter of 5.5 by 30 metres, closed off by a stone wall that probably served to pen livestock in recent times.
