'der Park' and 'der Stadtpark' both refer to a public green space where you can go for a walk or relax. 'der Park' is more general: it can be in a city, but it can also belong to a palace or simply be a larger green space. 'der Stadtpark' is more specific and means a park within a city, usually for the people who live there. Learners may confuse the words because every 'Stadtpark' is a 'Park'. But not every 'Park' is naturally called a 'Stadtpark'.
