If the park is in my neck of the woods, I can just use this definition:
"vehicle" means a device in, on or by which a person or thing is or may be transported or drawn on a highway, but does not include a device designed to be moved by human power, a device used exclusively on stationary rails or tracks, mobile equipment, a motor assisted cycle or a regulated motorized personal mobility device
[BC Motor Vehicle Act, 1 Definitions]

The words written on some sign on a road or park are not meant to be freely defined by whoever happens to be reading the sign.
That definition looks like it only applies to highways, whereas this exercise is much broader.
In a legal context "highway" has a broader meaning than in everyday use. From the link above: highway "includes every road, street, lane or right of way designed or intended for or used by the general public for the passage of vehicles"
Ok, looks like that doesn't include a park in which vehicles are forbidden then.
Did you look up the definition of "highway", or are you substituting your own? It's in there.
> highway "includes every road, street, lane or right of way designed or intended for or used by the general public for the passage of vehicles"
By definition, a park where vehicles are forbidden is not a highway. Please don't act smarter than you are.
