I chose かたがた but the correct answer is がてら. I could not understand the
difference. Any idea?

Difference between かたがた and がてら
「かたがた」 is used to give both actions equal value. It only attaches to nouns (or
suru verbs) and is often used in formal sentences, especially for giving
thanks, apologies, etc.

「がてら」 gives more weight to the word it is attached to. It means that, in the
middle of doing something, you did something else. For example, you can go on
a walk, and stop for a bite to eat on the way.

In your example, the phrase 「散歩 **がてら** 立ち寄った公園」 would make more sense because
stopping at a park is done while on the walk.

I believe ついでに must be in the form of noun+の/ dictionary-form/ た-form +ついでに;
thus, 散歩のついでに/ 散歩するついでに/ 散歩したついでに
