Why is it masculine?

Parques is masculine in Portuguese. The word derives from Latin "parcus" (an enclosed space), which was a masculine noun. However, the primary source is more likely the Latin "parricus" or related forms meaning "enclosure" or "park". Portuguese preserved the masculine gender through regular sound changes typical of Latin second-declension masculine nouns. Words ending in -que in Portuguese (derived from Latin -cus) typically retained masculine gender from their Latin origins.
