Without assumptions - such as what 'in the park' actually means - most of the cases are simply undecidable.

This should not be taken to mean that every rule must be fully, rigorously and unambiguously specified, as this would bring an end to human discourse.

Intent is often an appropriate basis for disambiguating rules like this.
