I am looking for expression used in US or UK for that situation, for example, where you are in a park where there are people of all ages, and a couple starts to be intense with the kissing and the touching. In my country we say informally and graciously "let's throw them water!" with the hope they stop or go to a more private place :)

I might mutter as I walked past them "Get a hotel room!" - but probably not (if they're not breaking the law): parks are for lovers too.

The expression typically used is "get a room!"
A sarcastic or humorous imperative used to tell a couple to cease displaying physical affection publicly (implying that they should rent a room in a hotel to continue in private).

Public display of affection PDA wikipedia
Public displays of affection (PDA) are acts of physical intimacy in
the view of others. What is an acceptable display of affection varies
with respect to culture and context. Displays of affection in a public
place, such as the street, are more likely to be objected to, than
similar practices in a private place with only people from a similar
cultural background present. Some organizations have rules limiting or
prohibiting public displays of affection.
As in:
Kindly take your public displays of affection elsewhere.
