Why do SO MANY public parks in New York just have a freeway go straight through them?

Riverside, Inwood, Forest, Flushing Meadows, Van Corlandt, Bronx, and Pellham Bay Park all have freeways cutting through them, some even have multiple freeways with entire interchanges running through them. New York as a whole has solid parks but this is just about the worst land use combination I can imagine, it really takes away from what is otherwise a very wonderful set of city parks.
