This is a true pandemic. They created something that has effectively hijacked the human experience of being present in the moment, and I'm not sure most will escape this.
Don't let yourself be a vict...
There's a non-zero chance that you happened upon an event taking place within a GPS based mobile app video game.
As an example, the popular game series Pokemon has a game called Pokemon Go that has "Community Days" where 1 specific type of pokemon shows up at all of the spawn points. People often flock to local parks such as the one shown in the video.
10 years ago when that game came out, a lot of people reacted this way to seeing the masses of people all on their phones not paying attention to reality around them.
I would be curious to see if what you observed occurs on Wednesday nights at 7PM, Monday afternoons at 1PM, Friday mornings at 8AM, etc. The Community Days tend to happen on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
