parkway

1. (dated) A path, carriage-way, or road through a park or a landscaped right of way.Examples: "This street, transferred to the West Side park system in 1879, was extended and changed into a parkway passing through that pretty and well-improved urban space, Union Park"; "Where the boundary roads are the only roads, the whole strip is properly called a parkway; and this name is retained even when the space between the boundary roads is reduced to lowest terms and becomes nothing more than a shaded green ribbon, devoted perhaps to the separate use of the otherwise dangerous electric cars. In other words, parkways, like parks, may be absolutely formal or strikingly picturesque, according to circumstances."; "This would give eight trees at each street intersection, which would finally grow into groups, over-arching and emphasizing these intersections, the blocks between these groups to be planted with smaller and more ornamental trees and forming, as it were, a section of a parkway."dated
