Besides, it’s more difficultfor the park manager to ensure the security of the park.To solve these problems, the thesis uses the successful experiencein China and abroad for reference. Through doing research on ShanghaiGuhua Park and combining the practical situation together, it works outsome countermeasures.Firstly, the manager of free-opening city parks must look forfinancial supports not only from the government, but also from thesociety investment and donation, such as setting up a fund for parkmanagement. Secondly, improve park management with the aid of the third sector. However, since the third sector is still in its infancy, it needshelp from the government. In addition, it must improve itself instantlyand work under the supervision of both government and society. Thirdly,there must be laws and regulations to protect the management of parks.Laws and regulations on park management should be more operable.Besides, it is necessary to improve the management system of parks.
