Whole sentence meaning
"In a quiet and peaceful public park on a sunny day, there are two people sitting on a bench."

Grammar tip
The relative pronoun ที่ (*thîi*) attaches a modifying clause directly to a noun (e.g., *สวนสาธารณะที่เงียบสงบ* = "public park that is quiet and peaceful"). The progressive aspect is formed by adding อยู่ (*yùu*) after a verb (e.g., *นั่งอยู่* = "is sitting").
