Resumo: The pandemic has had negative impacts on various sectors of society, among them, tourism, which has been greatly affected. Regarding the quarantine, it is believed that the changes caused increased stress in the population. With the decrease in cases of covid-19, many activities are gradually being resumed after isolation, among them tourism in Urban Parks (PU). It is undeniable that the use and contact with urban green spaces and other natural spaces such as parks can contribute to the maintenance of the health and well-being of visitors. Bosque Rodrigues Alves (BRA) is considered a heritage of the city of Belém, being important in the preservation of the flora and fauna of the Amazon ecosystem. In this sense, this article aimed to analyze the perception of post-isolation tourism from the COVID-19 pandemic from its visitors. The methodology used was quali-quantitative through the application of 500 questionnaires to visitors during the month of October 2021. Data were tabulated and statistical analysis was subsequently carried out. As a result, it was found that the visitors to the forest are young adults between 31 and 40 years old and that the main points of dissatisfaction are the signage, accessibility and local infrastructure. In this way, it is concluded that for these problems there must be a direction of public policies aimed at the revitalization and maintenance of the BRA so that the visits are more pleasant.
