This is an age old problem in architecture and planning. You need really good circulation and access to get people to use a raised or lowered park space. Preferably really long ramps so people can casually stroll up or down to the location. Having to use elevators or escalators subconsciously makes the destination into a removed separate plane from the urban fabric. It can be done though - the High Line figured it out.
