I used to have a couple of cops as hunting partners. There have been several in my family. To a man, they were not above intimidating citizens by stretching the truth a bit or even out and out lying. Every one of them disclosed this to me at one time or another. They would justify this behavior by claiming it made their jobs easier at times.

All I can say is fight back. Take their badge numbers and names. Demand their supervisor's name. Go talk to that supervisor. Return to the park and challenge them to actually arrest you if they threaten to do so again. Essentialy, stand firm and do not give in to their attemped intimidation. If you have truly done nothing illegal, and have every right to be there, it will prove more hassle than they are willing to deal with to continue to press their intimidation home.
