I'd love to know what has triggered this new 'rule'. Clearly someone important has complained about something - scantily clad ladies in the park or whatever. From what I have heard on other forums, the new dress code has been inconsistently enforced, with some people managing to enter the park with the usual shoulders and knees covered, and others turned away if not wearing thobe / abaya / sportswear (with your behind covered by your top). Perhaps they are still ironing out the policy. Personally, I don't see why this specific area should have it's own separate strict dress code. Surely the usual guidelines you can see on mall entrances (and the generally accepted norm) for 'decent' attire - shoulders and knees covered - would suffice?
