We won’t be able to tell with those photos. Take some of the termites out of the tube and photograph them.

I'm gonna make a guess and say coptotermes formosanus, but finding them in a park is weird since they only really live in disturbed and urban areas. the pictures are also quite blurry, so try to get clearer ones.
