WHY DO WE DRIVE ON A PARKWAY AND PARK IN A DRIVEWAY?

Never could figure that one out

When roads were first created in cities, some were reserved for families and get togethers.  Those roads went into and through parks.  They were called "parkways."  There are many near me in Washington DC - still today with separate little picnic areas with tables, a grill, benches, etc.  My family often went to Rock Creek Park (along the Rock Creek Parkway) for summer picnics.  Each picnic area always had its own little parking lots called "drive ups," and "drive ways."  So people drove on the parkways to the parks and parked on the drive ups or drive ways at the park.

Driveways for homes were created with the "newer" neighborhoods in upper middle-class areas beginning in the nineteen teens, so families could "drive" the car right to the house and "park" the cars conveniently and safely off the roads.
