If the city sits on a flat slab of concrete, we can use geometry of the cartesian plane to study it,
and we don't have to go to spherical geometry. Let's do that. It's a lot less messy.
Referenced to the city center, the mall is at the point (4, 4).
Referenced to the center of the city, the park is at the point (-2, -4).
The distance between them is sqrt[ (east-west difference)2 + (north-south difference)2 ]
= sqrt[ (-2 - 4)2 + (-4 - 4)2 ]
= sqrt[ (6)2 + (8)2 ]
= sqrt (36 + 64)
= sqrt (100)
= 10 miles apart, as the crow flies

Omar drives a car five miles north then five miles west then five miles south How many miles is he likely to be from his starting point?
The obvious answer is 5 miles. The not-so-obvious part is it depends on where he is when he starts. If he is on the equator, he is five miles from his point of origin. If his starting point was the south pole, and he drives five miles north, then west, then south, he will arrive back at his starting point. Before you disagree, consider that he is driving on a sphere not a flat plain.
