This is a very odd situation. Its unfortunate that the cops elected to only hear one side of the story. If it truly is public land, and you were not trespassing, I don't see how they can ask you to stay away. I am not sure what the complaint to the police was, but it is odd that they would have staked out looking for you. It seems to me that you are entitled to a bit more due process than being banned from a public place on the alegation that you talk to some kids behind a fence.
I too would consider contacting the more senior of the officers and re-opening the discussion. I can't see why the final outcome is that you can be banned from using the space on a one-sided complaint. Its probably worth making sure that this is not a common space that part of a development (in which case the cop probably would be justified in banning you).
Let us know if you take any steps to resolve this.
