It's weird how you want the beauty, but don't seem to understand how it stays that way.

It's maintenance. It's user fees to fund maintenance.

You may think that's socialist, but really it's not. Proper socialism would be a portion of income tax being allocated toward funding a maintained park without added user fees for residents.

It's usually cheaper overall for people using the park, but people who don't use the park complain about their taxes being used to foot the bill; the same as they complain about paying for fire protection service they don't use.
