Alternatively if you don't have a middle button you can always draw a 
selection rectangle round the park to select all the relevant ways, then do 
a search for "-landuse:park", and ensure you have the remove from selection 
radio button clicked, which should leave just the park selected.

But much easier to go out and buy a three button mouse :).
