They're uniformly closed because of the public expectation for safety in a public park. Basically, if someone complains that you're there making noise past a certain time, there's a way to kick you out. Campers can also be removed. Or... if you dramatically hurt yourself in the public space in the middle of the night, there isn't public liability.
However, I don't believe that there are patrols kicking anyone out of said public parks. I have a number of friends who have visited these parks after hours. They knew they were there after hours and prepared to be kicked out... but that hasn't happened yet.
