Details are sketchy. According to witnesses, some sort of gang activity took place before the man in his 40s was shot, but police do not believe he belonged to a gang.
Police do not have a description of the shooter or shooters.
Detectives were combing the park near Pratt and East Julianna streets for clues this morning.
