As stated above there is a ~$300M renovation going on there now, after a similar sized project recently completed. I would hope that isn't torn down for at least 30-40 years.
This is like asking why the current St Paul’s hospital will be demolished once the new hospital is service.

You’re falling for the sunk cost fallacy. Not demolishing the JPP require costly maintenance for unneeded buildings, that would be the real waste of money.

Also, it’s not park space, just sparsely landscaped open space. Exactly as the current state of the psychiatric facility site along W 12.
