Abstract
In order to deal with the negative effect of ecological environment caused by the rapid urbanization process, much more attention has been paid to urban ecological parks with the functions such as restoring urban natural ecological environment, building sustainable stable ecosystems, improving biodiversity and spreading ecological culture. On the basis of explaining the concept of urban ecological parks, this paper sums up the ecological strategies of the restoration case of Bishan Ang Mo Kio Park and Kallang River in Singapore, and puts forward ecological strategies of urban ecological parks in the aspects of planning, design and maintenance, involving site selection, layout, planting, techniques, facilities, education and management.

Summary
Urban ecological parks refer to the parks which make full use of wasteland or abandoned land in the urban areas or suburban areas, comprehensively apply the principles of ecology and landscape ecology, retain or imitate regional natural habitats to create natural ecological environment and provide sites for activities such as rest, sightseeing and practice harmonious with natural ecological process [1, 2]. With the main goal of protecting or building regional diverse self-succession ecosystems, urban ecological parks are able to effectively alleviate the contradiction between the development of people’s living standards and much more serious ecological environmental degeneration, restore urban natural ecological environment, build stable sustainable ecosystems and promote the harmonious coexistence between human and natural environment
