This article explores the characteristics of Ecosystem Service-Oriented Urban Park (ESOUP), establishes a post-occupancy evaluation system, and by using Tianjin Qiaoyuan Park as a case study identifies the problems and solutions involved in the processes of design, construction, management and maintenance.
