The fruit shape colora and leaves remind me of POMEGRANATE ...
It is * Punica granatum...*

Punica granatum tree may indeed have * spines* on branches...

Since its in a park, May be you can keep an eye on it and photograph
the flowers...

Really!!

The only alangium berry I have seen had many sided angulated
surface......

if its really this ... then the flowers next season will solve the
mystery,
because Punica flowers are distinctive.

good luck
