Does heart rhyme with park?

No. The ending is not the same. There is something known as "wrenched rhyming." Meaning you purposely mispronounce a word to make it rhyme with another. There is another type, I don't know what it's called, that refers to two word that don't quite rhyme, but are inserted into the poem as if they did. "Heart, park" falls into the latter category. The term for endings that have similar vowels but different consonants is assonant rhyme, the converse being consonant rhyme.

Do song and gone rhyme?

There are actually quite a number of different rhyme types accepted in the literary community. Some, such as the "Assonant rhyme", which is defined as having the same vowel sounds but varying consistent sounds, yes, they do rhyme. However, if you go with the most common definition of a rhyme, that is, what the literary community would call a "Perfect Rhyme", you are limited to words that begin with different sounds, but end with the same sounds. By this layman definition, song would rhyme with gong, but not with gone, and gone would rhyme with dawn.
