Most likely, with cities everywhere too big to walk everywhere, one would rather їздили" до парку, than khodyly, and definitely до парку sounds more Ukrainian than u park. I used to be bilingual with Ukrainian one of my languages, but after living abroad for years, have to take this class to renew my Ukrainian.
Not a native Ukrainian speaker, but according to the book Beginner's Ukrainian, Їздити means "to go somewhere by vehicle." Ходити means "to go" so in this sentence I would guess that they could have just walked to the movies. I'm not sure why Ukrainian works this way. A native speaker can probably give a better answer.
It is a Slavic thing to distinguish, if one walks somewhere or uses a transportation, with different words for the both notions. Having 4 Slavic languages behind my belt and learning the 5th and 6th of them, I dare generalize about that.
I am native Ukrainian speaker)))). Why wrong...I don't know. Try to write to report.
