The "park" in "parkway" refers to a park or series of parks which the road goes through. A parkway provides a way to drive through a park or parks. It just so happens that "park" also means "stop your car for an extended period of time", which makes the word "parkway" sound ironic. A driveway is called a driveway because it provides a way to drive off and onto your property, and away from and towards your home. Both "parkway" and "driveway" are suitable names, in my opinion, but thanks for the laugh.
