Not quite, but close.

If you are there FOR the school event, it is off limits to you, but if am walking through the park, I can carry without worry.

Much like the Houston Zoo is OK to carry, even if a school group is there. If you are not with them, carry away.

Charles Cotton argues here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=38722&hilit=school+event#p462625" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; that in order to be off-limits, the "school event" must be located on school property. Though he admits there is no case law either way.

That said, I believe it is clear that the activity grounds must be school property. You cannot read any part of a statute out of context and the phrase "any grounds or building on which . . ." appears in a sentence that clearly refers to school property. Further evidence is the provision that allows a school to authorize the carrying of firearms in such places and schools would have such authority only on property it owns.
