Taking the three main sports parks in Dinghu District, Zhaoqing City as the research objects, this paper constructs an evaluation system for the leisure degree of sports park landscapes (including three dimensions: subject, object, and medium) based on the perspective of leisure science and combined with the evaluation criteria of urban leisure degree. The research is carried out through methods such as field investigation and questionnaire survey. The results show that the sports parks in Dinghu District have problems such as few people on weekdays, inconvenient transportation, single landscape, insufficient leisure space, single function, lack of cultural integration, and few activity forms. To address these issues, this paper puts forward improvement suggestions from four aspects: matching multiple leisure motivations, connecting multi-disciplinary logics, respecting regional characteristics, and following the principle of efficiency and practicality. The purpose is to improve the leisure degree of sports parks, meet the leisure needs of residents, and provide references for the landscape design of similar sports parks.
