Why do we use "the"in I often go to the park / I never go to the gym. Thank you.
I know that with certain places we use "the:" like : the cinema , the mall and the office. I s it the same with park and gym ?

yes, I know in Russian there is no "the", however in English with nouns that are places you use "the". The gym, the bathroom, the hallway. Places. I'm not a terribly good teacher but that's my take.

Yes, it's the same. You are specifying the places you go ("the park") or don't go ("the gym").Check out the answers about the word "the" in this thread:
