Learn Italian: Vado al parco con te. - I am going to the park with you.

Andare (to go) is a highly irregular verb. Instead of following the normal -are ending rules, its spelling changes completely for most pronouns. Vado is the form for "I", meaning "I go" or "I am going".

The translation says "I am going". Does vado mean "I go" or "I am going"?

It means both! In Italian, the simple present tense is used for general habits ("I go") as well as actions happening right now ("I am going"). You don't need to build a separate "-ing" tense here.

Why is it al parco instead of just a il parco?

When the preposition a (to/at) comes right before the definite article il (the masculine word for "the"), they merge into a single combined word: al. In Italian, you never leave a il as two separate words.

Why is the word for "you" te instead of tu?

Tu is used when "you" are the one doing the action, like the subject of a sentence. However, when "you" comes immediately after a preposition like con (with) or a (to), you must use the object pronoun te instead.
