Psychology
A bicycle runs on your own legs, so it often stands for moving forward by your own effort. A bike park is where that effort is left to rest; searching for your bike there can mirror a small fear of losing your place while you pause.
Folklore and history
Bike parks are a modern sight with little old lore. Modern dream readers treat parking places as pauses or preparation. Neat rows can mean an orderly life; toppled bikes, fatigue.

This site's view
In this site's view, a bike park at night is where machines wait for owners who may not return. If only yours was left, something you have put off is still waiting for you. A lot filling with unknown bikes may hint that others' needs are crowding your life.
Going deeper: our reading
Bicycles left outside designated areas near stations may be removed and taken to a storage yard. To get yours back, you travel to the yard and pay a fee. In a huge parking lot, many have forgotten where they left their bike and walked up and down rows of near-identical ones. In this site's reading, the dream can reflect both the cost of putting things off and the memory of where you left them. If your bike had been removed and you went to a distant yard to fetch it, you may feel you must now deal with the results of neglect. Searching endlessly for where you parked suggests that amid busyness you have lost track of where you invested your energy. This is our speculation, but the dream may say small daily care protects your own two wheels.
