Do you like going on walks "in" the park or "at" the park? I still confuse when I need to use "in" and "at" in some situations like this (sometimes "on" too). I've already heard people saying both ways, but I couldn't figure out the difference. Could you help me please?

Both "in the park" and "at the park" are ok. If I was picturing in my mind or describing the park as a location or destination to go to, I would use "at the park". If I was picturing in my mind walking inside or within the park, I would use "in the park".

Walks in the park. But, leaving the car at the park/on the "park". It must be why you are confusing these prepositions.

In my humble opinion, 'in' means a relatively 'big place', 'at' means a relatively 'small place'. For instance, I arrived in New York versus I arrived at a small village.
