This paper presents the nodal nature of park spaces in New York City in the context of the variant use of forms of traditional and alternative mobility in the city. Using comparative analysis of thematic maps and plans of mass and individual transportation, a review of planning documents and in-situ observations in the city area, it was demonstrated that New York parks have become efficient transportation channels for daily migrations within the dense urban fabric. The phenomenal plasticity of park areas in terms of the formation of and adaptation to new uses and the growing scale of the issue prompt a deeper analysis of the phenomenon.
