As a significant component of the public space for high-quality urban development under the background of updates at a stock market, the quality of urban parks has been increasingly concerned internationally. Based on PRISMA protocol, this study systematically compared and analyzed the development of both domestic and overseas park quality evaluation research in the past 20 years, with sources of 6 512 papers. It summarized that the foreign research is mature and already formulates a series of park quality audit tools. Although there is no established park quality tool in China, the development of research on park quality was rapid during the recent years with abundant practical and professional experience. The series foreign park quality audit tools exposed the limitations and the solidification of academy. Based on the urban open space research, the scope and methods of Chinese park quality research are more advanced than the foreign studies. Accordingly, the limitations of the related foreign studies should be addressed and develop the suitable park quality audit tools for the native park needs, and ultimately promote the scientific and intensive updates of the built environment quality in China.
