Think about it. The park has one internet feed it broadcasts parkwide. A few try to stream videos and use up most of the available bandwidth. A few like yourself try to read some email and browse the internet without much luck because the speeds so slow. Internet bandwidth is expensive and you can't blame the park for not delivering high speed connection everywhere all the time - it just isn't economically feasible. At the same time some nefarious hacker may be spoofing the park's WiFi so they can capture your personal information and login credentials to either sell them to a crook or use them to buy a bunch of stuff they can sell for a profit.
The bottom line for me as a retired computer network administrator is I will never use the park's WiFi. The cost of a cellular hotspot is cheap compared to the grief being hacked can cause. Using publicly accessible WiFi is asking for trouble these days. It simply isn't safe. You can't be too careful.
