The Park of Legends (Spanish: Parque de las Leyendas), formally the Dr. Felipe Benavides Barreda Park of Legends (Spanish: Parque de las Leyendas "Dr. Felipe Benavides Barreda"), is a zoo located in San Miguel District, Lima, Peru. It is managed by the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima (MML). It is the most influential and visited zoo in the entire capital, featuring recreation and entertainment areas, archaeological museums, and botanical garden.

Since 2023, another branch has operated in Ate District with the same name after the MML acquired the Huachipa Recreational Ecological Centre (Spanish: Centro Ecológico Recreacional Huachipa), commonly known simply as Huachipa Zoo (Spanish: Zoológico de Huachipa).
