Studying on the influencing factors of parent-child’s tourist loyalty to city parks is of great significance for the improvement of the design of city park. Based on different characteristics of parent-child family and the classification of city park’s recreation opportunities, this article constructs a structural equation model (SEM) of influencing factors of parent-child’s tourist loyalty to city parks. The result turns out that travel motivation and satisfaction degree of city parks’ physical environment have a great influence on parent-child. The parent-child tourists’ travel motivation and reachability degree have a direct effect on satisfaction degree of city parks’ physical environment, social environment and management environment with an indirect effect on their loyalty to city parks.
