    City parks usually have diversified value systems,such as ecological value,environmental protection value,aesthetic value,etc.To meet the demand of urban residents'recreational activities,city parks play a more important role in the construction of spiritual civilization,and have become a symbol of urban construction level and civilization level.Landscape design,however,determines the advantages and disadvantages of a city park.Therefore,it is of great significance and practice to study urban park landscape space.Taking Kunming Expo Park as an example,starting from space transition and space division,tourist areas and routes and landscape distribution,this paper analyzes the deficiencies and problems of its space design as follows:the spacious theme museums are left unused after the exhibition,which does not conform to the requirement for a modern city park square;some gardens are barely used,with only 43.64% of the park open for tourists;at the initial stage of the park construction,space division was not considered,resulting in the lack of uniformity to reduce the visual value.It offers suggestions to improve its space design,including the transformation of functional space,equilibriumd is tribution of green belts and activity areas and a well-planned business space.
