  Parkway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the 1920s, the parkway system around New York City grew extensively under the direction of master builder Robert Moses, who saw parkways as a active means to promote automobile use and to transfer population from crowded urban areas onto undeveloped areas on Long Island.
In the 1930s, the concept of the parkway was extended to the federal government, which constructed several national parkways designed for recreational driving and to commemorate historic routes.
A recurring bit of humor about the name parkway has had some fun poked at it, as it is ironic that one would park on a driveway, and instead drive on a parkway.

Ocean Parkway is a neighborhood in west central Brooklyn, lying along a thoroughfare of the same name running about six miles north to south from Prospect Park to the southeastern edge of Coney Island.
The parkway was suggested in the 1860s in reports to the park commissioners of Brooklyn by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, who together drew up a plan influenced by boulevards in Paris and Berlin.
