"We have informed the family of the woman's detention.
"They are understandably distraught over what happened yesterday and we will continue to support them with family liaison officers in the coming months."
Mr Jackson added: "Several officers who attended the park were very young in service in the police, some with only weeks on independent police patrol.
"They and all the officers who went to the scene are incredibly upset over what has happened and all of us have this little girl and her family in our thoughts.
"I want to stress that this is not an end to the criminal investigation. We will consider the evidence and consult with the Crown Prosecution Service and, if appropriate, we will be seeking criminal charges."
The girl, whom police have not yet identified, suffered "extremely serious injuries" and died a short time later.
Police officers stood guard on an area of the park cordoned off by "Crime scene - do not enter" tape as forensic investigations continued.
The area is a couple of hundred yards from a children's play area.

A teddy bear and flowers were left beside the card, with two more teddies and flowers left inside the park.

Wrestling mogul Triple H has taken a cheeky swipe at Deontay Wilder over his excuse for his defeat by Tyson Fury .
Wilder was stopped in the seventh round last month as Fury produced a stunning display to dethrone the heavyweight world champion .
Wilder later complained that his huge ring-walk costume was to blame , claiming it had weakened his legs .
And now Triple H , real name Paul Michael Levesque , has joked his own outfit was to blame for his defeat by Daniel Bryan at Wrestlemania 30 in 2014 .
He tweeted : “ Just as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ super heavy … .
Like 45 lbs ….. My legs were shot… Only reason Daniel beat me !

” Wilder was dropped twice by Fury before his corner threw in the towel to signal the end of his long reign .
But he later said : `` He did n't hurt me at all , but the simple fact is my uniform was way too heavy for me .
`` I did n't have no legs from the beginning of the fight .
`` In the third round @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the way through , but I 'm a warrior and people know that I 'm a warrior . ''
Wilder 's excuse was later exposed however when footage re-emerged of him telling Joe Rogan that he worked out in weighted vest which was as heavy as his costume .
And Fury believes Wilder had to find an excuse for his defeat .
`` I can understand where he ’ s coming from because in every fighter ’ s mind there ’ s always got to be a reason why they ’ ve lost @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can never be the simple fact of ' I wasn ’ t good enough on the night , I lost to the better guy . '
`` It 's always got to be , 'The camp was wrong , it was the trainer 's fault , it was my suit , it was my toe ’ .
It ’ s always something was a problem .
`` With me if I ’ m injured or whatever the problem is , it ’ s like ‘ ok the performance wasn ’ t great , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and crack on ' . ''
Wilder and Fury are due to clash for a third time in July , subject to boxing resuming following the coronavirus crisis .

Holly, 39, continued: "Yes we are but do you know what, I am really looking forward to that moment just to be able to give you a big hug because it’s the one thing I think we really need right now.

Holly said: "I did the group chat thing on WhatsApp with my sister and mum which was really nice, because it does make you appreciate the special moments."
At the weekend, a spokesperson for channel confirmed the decision that they would stop broadcasting Lorraine and This Morning from today.
The statement read: "This decision has been made to minimise the number of staff travelling in and out of our studios and working together on shift at any one time.
"We're focusing our efforts on providing to viewers the latest news on the rapidly changing situation which aims to offer some stability and continuity in all our lives whilst so many of us are at home right now. That’s why we have taken this tough decision to protect our GMB News programme in the morning and keep This Morning on air for as long as possible.

"From Monday we will be running an extended version of Good Morning Britain from 0600 until 10am. At 9am Lorraine Kelly will join Piers in the GMB studio for the last hour and then hand straight over to the This Morning studio with Phillip and Holly as usual running from 10am until 1230pm. We will then run some of our most favourite repeat episodes of Loose Women from 12.30pm to 1.30pm to give viewers something to smile about each day at lunchtime.
"We have been reducing our crew numbers over the last week and these changes will enable us to reduce them further and help us build further resilience with the aim of Daytime content continuing to air for as long as possible.
"Safeguarding the well-being of everyone involved with our programmes is our priority and in this dynamically developing situation we will obviously continue to review these new arrangements on a day by day basis and follow at all times the latest PHE and WHO guidelines."
*This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV

David's parents were so excited for a holiday but coronavirus scuppered their plans - now he's shared why holidays will be more important than ever when the pandemic is over

His parents had been so excited about the trip, they had been crossing off the days on their calendar, while leaving a suitcase in their spare room that they could fill up with holiday essentials in anticipation for their getaway.
Now, David has opened up in a heartwarming letter about why, although travel isn't a viable option right now, he's not completely giving up on their holiday plans.
His inspiring message is a reminder about why holidays will be more important than ever when the coronavirus pandemic is over - and it's not just about going abroad.
He writes: "My mum and dad will be celebrating their diamond wedding anniversary this Easter. And, along with the big family party that I’d planned, I’d arranged to take them to one of our parcs in Brittany. It was what they said they wanted. No new Denby dinnerware, no 800-inch flat screen TV.

You're stuck inside, we're stuck inside, everybody's stuck inside - so while sports are suspended amid the coronavirus pandemic, here's the best way to get your sporting fix
As fans up and down the country self-isolate and matches, meetings and tournaments are called off, there is a need for new ways to satisfy the sporting appetites.
Fortunately, there are several sporting documentaries and docu-series available through various broadcasters and streaming services.
These range from focussed pieces on legends and icons to behind-the-scenes insights into dressing rooms and the great teams of old.
Some are new releases, such as Amazon Prime Video’s 18-month charting of the Australian cricket team in ‘The Test’, while others such as the ground-breaking ‘All or Nothing: Manchester City’ are older but stand the test of time.
Whatever your sport of choice, there is sure to be something on Mirror Sport’s list of the best documentaries to grip you until live sport returns to our televisions.
Here are our top 10 sports documentaries to watch:
10. All or Nothing: Manchester City
(Amazon Prime Video)
This eight-part docu-series provided a unique insight inside Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City dressing room throughout the 2017-18 season.
Amazon cameras were given access to the training complex and to the players’ personal lives as City went on to win the Premier League with a ‘centurion’ season.
The Manchester City edition of All or Nothing was the first instalment of the series to focus on a football club and the docu-series was so popular that Borussia Dortmund, the Brazil national team and Tottenham Hotspur have since given Amazon behind-the-scenes access.
Other teams in other sports to have been followed for the series include the New Zealand rugby team, Michigan's University American football side, and numerous NFL teams, including, most recently, the Philadelphia Eagles.

9. Formula 1: Drive to Survive
(Netflix)
Drive to Survive now has two series available on Netflix, covering the 2018 and 2019 Formula One seasons.
It provides a startling insight into life on and off the circuit for athletes in the cut-throat world of driving.
With 10 episodes per season, there is plenty here to entertain you throughout quarantine and some incredible footage of drivers being dropped or even kicked out of their team.
The show has something for dedicated F1 fans and those who know little about the sport and goes beneath the polished facade of the sport.
8. Kevin Pietersen: Story of a Genius
(Sky Sports)
Charting Pietersen’s rise from local South African cricketer to England superstar, Story of a Genius is a super offering from Sky Sports which frequently airs on their Cricket or Mix channels and is available on Sky Go to subscribers.
Former England captain Nasser Hussain presents the five-part series, weaving in analysis and insights from several former team-mates and pundits.
It does a good job of showing off both Pietersen’s talent and how divisive a figure he was, giving figures on both sides of the argument the chance to make their case.
Pietersen, as ever, speaks frankly and honestly about the highs and lows of his England career. Though this series is not a long one, it’s well worth a watch for cricket fans.

7. Andy Murray: Resurfacing
(Amazon Prime Video)
For British sports fans, a documentary delving into one of the country’s greatest sportsmen in recent years is too good to pass up.
Resurfacing retells the story of Murray tearfully admitting that he might not play again in 2018 to winning an ATP title less than a year later - but it goes deeper than that.
Murray discusses his upbringing in Dunblane and the traumatic school shooting he witnessed, his struggles to get the British public on his side and the gruesome hip surgery he endured.
Ultimately, this insight into the two-time Wimbledon and Olympic gold winner’s story must be seen.
6. Sunderland ’Til I Die
(Netflix)
Perhaps the best football docuseries to date, Sunderland ’Til I Die perfectly portrays what football means to Wearside fans.
The events of the eight-part Netflix series are a stark contrast to Amazon’s Manchester City production from the same year, with Sunderland enduring a torrid season in the Championship and turmoil in all areas, from coaching staff to fans.
The hope of Sunderland followers shines through even during a period of sharp decline for their club and this series is a must-watch.
Highlights of the documentary include an insight into the frantic dealings of a transfer window to a vicar praying for good results for the Black Cats.
Season Two is out at the start of April.

5. Diego Maradona
( All 4 )
This documentary looking at the career of one of the best footballers of all time is currently available on All 4 after releasing last year.
It charts Maradona’s rise from an Argentinian shantytown to playing in Europe for giant clubs Barcelona and Napoli, with his time in Italy given a special focus.
There is a bit of everything in the film, with the joy in Argentina after winning the 1986 World Cup contrasted with the difficulties of Maradona’s cocaine addiction and a fall from grace in Naples.
The documentary focuses only on his playing career, with no time afforded to his managerial exploits or broader views, but football fans should watch it to appreciate Maradona’s greatness.
4. The Test
(Amazon Prime Video)
The Test is a newly-released Amazon docuseries providing remarkable behind-the-scenes coverage of the Australia cricket team.
An action-packed 18 months sees the men from Down Under rise from the ashes of the ball-tampering scandal to retain the Ashes on English soil.
While the series certainly paints the Australian team in a positive light for the most part, the events it covers - including test matches with India, the World Cup and the Ashes - and the honesty of coach Justin Langer in front of the camera make this another must-watch.

3. Icarus
(Netflix)
This shocking and illuminating documentary centred on former Russian scientist Grigory Rodchenkov lifted the lid on Russia’s state-sponsored Olympic doping regime and won the Oscar for Best Documentary in 2017.
While presenter Bryan Fogel planned to discuss doping at the highest echelon of sport, he ended up uncovering one of the biggest scandals in recent years thanks to former Russian anti-doping laboratory director Rodchenkov’s cooperation.
The repercussions of the documentary set it apart from its peers, with Russia receiving a four-year ban from all major sporting events thanks to this startling Netflix production.
2. Free Solo
(Amazon Prime Video)
This Oscar-winning documentary tells the story of Alex Honnold, the little-known sport of free solo climbing and the quest to scale El Capitan without any ropes or safety equipment.
It looks back on Honnold’s upbringing, discusses his remarkable climbing career and reveals how he tries to balance being one mistake from falling to his death while having a girlfriend.
To say that some of the scenes of Honnold holding onto rocks with the tips of his fingers are stomach-turning is an understatement, but this documentary is not a sensational drama.
Instead, it is a remarkable look at what meticulous planning and unique skill can achieve and perhaps the most striking thing - other than Honnold attempting to scale the 914-metre face - is how he only takes satisfaction from a climb if it goes to plan.

1. The Edge
(Amazon Prime Video)
Topping the list is The Edge, in which the players and coaching staff of one of England’s greatest ever cricketing sides recall the process of rising to become the number one ranked test side in the world.
Previously unseen footage and hard-hitting - and sometimes moving - insights from those involved elevate this documentary to lofty standards.
The documentary is as important as it is compelling, with the mental strain playing five-day cricket at the highest level takes on players at the heart of the production.
The vulnerability of England greats shines through even as they look back on a period from a decade ago and it would not be a stretch to call The Edge a masterpiece.

thedailymirror--2020-03-23--Why coronavirus is worse than normal flu - and what makes it more dangerous

Many people have been comparing coronavirus Covid-19 and its symptoms to the flu .
Worryingly , this has resulted in many people thinking it 's not too bad , with some even saying they do n't mind if they get it .
Intensive care specialist Professor High Montgomery has explained why this really is n't the case , and the staggering difference between the two illness .
The main difference - and what makes it so much more dangerous - is it is far more contagious .
Speaking to Channel 4 , he explains that if he was to get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ average of 1.3 people .
If they then go on to do the same , each of them infects 1.3 people .
Do that 10 times , and he 's responsible for 14 cases of the flu .
However , this strain of coronavirus - Covid-19 - is much more infectious .
That means that if he was to get it , he would pass it to three people , and they would in turn pass it to another three .
He said : `` Not that does n't sound like much of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ three passes it onto another three and that happens at ten layers , I have been responsibly for infecting 59,000 people . ''
Professor Montgomery goes on to explain why , despite some people 's attitudes , it 's so much worse than feeling a bit rough .
He said : `` Most people are going to feel a bit pokey , or not very pokey , and feel just fine - but they will have spread it around .
`` A few will get sick at about 10 days into their illness @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to hospital . ''
`` When they are in hospital they will consume resources and time and people will look after them , quite rightly , and they will be monitored to see if they become really , really sick .
He explains that if people become very ill they will be moved to an intensive care unit .
`` This is the issue .
If we 've got a limit resource , which we have , a limited number of ventilators , a limited number of doctors , a limited number of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we ca n't provide that service of caring for people properly . ''
He goes on to stress the point even further that it 's vital that everybody does their bit to stop the spread .
He says : `` It 's going to be ugly , it 's going to be horrible for a large number of people - but it will be a small number of people who get properly sick and a smaller percentage of those again that need to come to an intensive care unit .
`` We can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of those people .
`` But remember , the best chance we can give to the people who do fall ill is if we 've got enough beds and enough staff and enough kit to be able to be there for you .
`` If you are irresponsible enough to think that you do n't mind if you get the flu , remember it 's not about you - it 's about everybody else . ''

Professor High Montgomery has explained that people saying it's "just like the flu" are wrong, and says why their selfish attitude is a huge problem
