I was actually thinking of building a small "platform" to secure a lockable metal cover similar to what speede5 recommended. It would be a few inches high and slightly larger than the hole itself. Something kinda like a well cover type of design.
That way it's a cover that no kid(s) can kinda just flip over or open up with basic tools while still easily be opened without to much effort to look inside if needed. The metal mesh suggestion is a good one. I might consider that too so no one can accidentally drop a phone down there when flipping the cover open to check it or whatever.
Because it is on the concrete walk way, I guess I am also over thinking a scenario where someone is standing on top of that cover when it's covered in snow and it just gives out. With a raised cover, in theory, it is less likely someone is accidentally be standing on top of it.
