Could she have accomplished her goal by going somewhere other than the park?
I think it is possible to come up with other places/scenarios that could help Nancy achieve her goal (and for the same gag to work), but the park is a simple one everyone can immediately understand.
Did she need a large, open area?
reply to dirtball:
Did she need a large, open area?
Not necessarily.
Did she need a natural setting with trees and animals?
A place where people gather?
A place where people engage in a specific activity?
The actual thing Nacy does at the park:
Would she
be moving?
be sitting/lying down?
making noise?
No to all.
No to all.
from the time she enters the park to the time she exits the park, would she
gain an item?
lose an item?
use some item whilst in the park?

Is there wordplay on “park”?
Or any other word associated with a park?

No wordplay. The park is just a generic park.
Regarding what she read in the newspaper…
Was it an advertisement?
An article?
A byline?
A headline?
A caption?
A picture?
A comic? (getting meta here)

OK, did she realise she was in the wrong place, because the “Nancy” strip was of an empty park with no content?
Or a speech bubble coming from nothing?
Even if wrong, this is a great answer.
Was something wrong with the way the comic strip was printed?
Her own? Or another strip?
reply to Saint_Cad:
Her own? No Or another strip? Yes
No to all.
Yes!
