SB, according to the 1st sentence, it can refer to both the park and the school. Whom to refer is not very clear to us. This type of unclear reference is not desired in GMAT.
Now according to the 2nd sentence, which clearly refers to the park. This is preferred to 1st sentence in GMAT.

"School"

As I mentioned in my last post, the second sentence is grammatically correct in GMAT but not the first one. Got me, SB? By the way, in the second sentence, which is referring to the park not to the school. Is it clear to u, now? In the two sentences (first one is not correct at all), which or it is not referring to school.

agree with camitava.I do not know any grammar rules talking about that a pronoum after conjunction should refer to the subject
