Urban parks, as essential spaces for enhancing residents' quality of life and improving urban ecological environments, have gradually become a core component of urban renewal. This paper takes Wukong Bridge Park in Jiaozuo City, Henan Province, as a case study to explore how the integration of historical site preservation and modern design concepts can enhance the ecological, social, and cultural benefits of parks within the context of urban renewal. The paper summarizes the design experiences from the renovation of Wukong Bridge Park, emphasizing the organic combination of historical cultural heritage, ecological restoration, and functional integration. The aim is to provide theoretical insights and practical references for similar projects.
