Yingbin Park is situated at the eastern entrance of the Yanfang Satellite City, at the junction of Yanfang Road and Jingzhou Road. It is named after its proximity to Yingbin Pavilion. Built in 1990, the park spans a total area of 7.34 hectares. Constructed by the Fangshan District Government as part of efforts to enhance the local environment, it was developed on the site of a former sewage pit after land reclamation. The park features a natural design that incorporates trees, shrubs, flowers, and grasses, making it a popular spot for fitness and leisure among residents of Fangshan. By the end of 2002, it received its first official park rating from Beijing and was designated as a Grade III Park in the city.

In 2002, with an investment of 220,000 yuan from the district government, Yingbin Park underwent renovations. A park gate was installed to enable enclosed management, 668 square meters of pathways were laid, 66 street lamps and 12 benches were added, all of which helped beautify the environment and attract a large number of visitors.

In 2003, in accordance with the Beijing Parks Regulations, the Municipal Commission of Urban Management carried out further greening improvements in the park, sowing 18,000 square meters of lawn and planting 3,000 square meters of perennial flowers.

The park covers a total area of 110 mu, including 100.1 mu of green space, achieving a greening rate of 92.4%. It has a total of 3,332 trees, combining trees, shrubs, and grasses, along with perennial flowers, creating a beautiful landscape with flowers blooming in three seasons and evergreen foliage year-round. The park is open to the public free of charge all year round, providing a great recreational space for residents of Fangshan.
