yes, the parietal pleura is a serous membrane. So is the visceral pleura for that matter, and the peritoneum as well.

The pleural cavity (with an outside pleural membrane) surrounds both the pleural and pericardial cavities. The fetal pig tissues are thin and easily cut. The parietal pleura is a serous membrane which surrounds the lungs. It is like a thin film, and can be somewhat difficult to remove and isolate. The parietal pleura is on the thoracic cavity wall.
Visceral serous membranes line organs. Parietal serous membranes line cavities.
parietal surrounds the organs
The pleural membrane is a double-layered serous membrane found in the thoracic cavity. The outer layer is called the parietal pleura and lines the thoracic wall, and the inner layer is called the visceral pleura and covers the lungs. The membranes produce lubricating serous fluid that causes them to adhere closely to one another. This holds the lungs to the thoracic wall allowing easier movement during breathing.

Pleural Cavity is the body cavity that surrounds the right and left lung. The pleura is a serous membrane which folds back to form a two-layered, membrane structure. The thin space between the two pleural layers is known as the pleural cavity; it normally contains a small amount of pleural fluid. The outer pleura parietal pleura is attached to the chest wall. The inner pleura, visceral pleura covers the lungs and adjoining structures.
