こうえん公園parkをあるく歩くwalkのがすき好きlike
を (object) marks 公園 (park) as the place being walked through, so 公園を歩く (walk through the park) is a whole action. Then の (that act) bundles that verb phrase into a noun — “the act of walking in the park” — and が (subject) makes it the subject of 好き (like). Japanese treats “like” as a description of a thing, so what you like has to be turned into a noun-like chunk first.
