When Supervisor Jane Kim proposed fencing in the park as a solution to the non-problem of people using an unenclosed public space, the deal included that the park would be open during certain hours and locked at night.
In reality, all the gates are always locked like this:
Indeed, the park contains a sign with hours of operation:
