The　capacity　of　urban　parks　to　contribute　to　soundscape　restorativeness,　understood　here　as　contributions　to　people＇s　recovery　from　attentional　fatigue　and　reflection　on　life　issues,　is　receiving　increased　interest　in　research　and　policy.　However,　scientific　understanding　of　the　influential　mechanism　of　perceived　soundscape　restor-ativeness　is　still　not　clear.　This　paper　aims　to　explore　the　effects　of　audio-visual　interaction　on　perceived　soundscape　restorativeness　(PSR)　of　urban　parks,　considering　visitors　of　different　social　and　demographic　characteristics.　The　research　design　comprises　a　survey　of　419　visitors　to　five　urban　parks　in　Fuzhou,　China,　general　structure　equation　modeling,　and　multi-group　model　analysis.　The　results　show　a　substantial　dependence　of　visitors＇　PSR　values　on　respective　perceptions　of　soundscape　pleasantness　and　eventfulness,　especially　soundscape　pleasantness.　Visual　landscape　characteristics　showed　mediating　effects　on　the　influence　of　sound-scape　pleasantness　and　eventfulness　on　the　perceived　soundscape　restorativeness　(19.3　%　and　28.3　%　of　the　total　effect,　respectively).　Age　was　the　most　influential　social　and　demographic　characteristic　affecting　the　PSR,　fol-lowed　by　gender,　while　occupation　and　educational　background　showed　only　limited　effects.　Future　develop-ment　of　urban　parks　should　strongly　integrate　soundscape　design　considerations　to　enhance　positive　PSR　effects　for　visitors.
