Step 1 :There are n benches with a maximum of 2 people sitting on each bench, so there are \(2n\) people sitting.
Step 2 :There are 8 people walking in the park.
Step 3 :To find the total number of people, add the people sitting and walking: \(2n + 8\).
Step 4 :\boxed{2n + 8} is the expression representing the total number of people in the park at this time.
