I see your point. However, I don’t think all cars should be banned from the park, just the elimination of through traffic. IMO, people should be able to drive to the nearest car park and back out of the same gate. I don’t think that even with this (significant) reduction in traffic-volume playing in the road would be a good idea.
In the Netherlands they have marked rollerblade routes around the suburbs! Cyclists are allowed to use them too but the pace is slow and you get people of all ages. You don’t see large groups of fast riders because there are heaps of other places they can go. Many of these shared-space problems in the UK are due to how limited the space that we have to cycle / walk / skate / etc is.
Edit: yeah, through motor traffic
