“Green growth” is a generalized trend of growth poles in the new era. Ecological security is essential to the forest park tourism. The assessment research on ecological security is significant for the development of forest park tourism. From the perspective of ecological security, this thesis selects seven forest parks in Baoji section of the Qinling Mountains as the research object, and builds the assessment indicator system of forest park ecological security according to experts’ comments. In this thesis, the PSR model is adopted to search indicators that slightly affect the security indexes of forest park; as a result,outstanding problems are found in the forest park according to current conditions, such as weak protection of forest landscaping and environment, large density of forest buildings, low comprehensive management capacity and poor guidance of forest ecological tour. The thesis has also probed the ecological security protection and development path of forest park in the Qinling region from the perspective of tourism carrying capacity control, landscaping design and building control, park ecological management system, and tourist civilized tourism according to the common security risks in forests, hoping to provide reference for the ecological security protection of other forest parks in Qinling region.
