Abstract: As an important form of night-time economy, night tourism is in urgent need of innovation and upgrading to cope with market changes. As an important part of the night tourism experience, the spatial vitality of night parks is also an important factor affecting the quality of night tourism and economic development. By summarizing the literature and the content requirements affecting the vitality of night parks, this study scientifically and objectively designates an index system containing six evaluation indicators, including Environmental adaptability, abundance of facilities, park attractiveness, Ease of travelling, environmental comfort, and social interconnectedness, based on visitor questionnaires and analysis. The hierarchical analysis method and entropy weight method are used to combine and assign the factors that have a greater impact on the spatial vitality of night parks. The evaluation results show that the environmental security and location significantly affect the spatial vitality of the night park, that is, the social interconnectedness and the park attractiveness have a greater impact on the spatial vitality of the night park. Therefore, in the subsequent construction of the night park, in order to effectively activate the spatial vitality, the visitors’ perception of the safety of the environment and the degree of locational advantage should be prioitised.
