When you see a product in the market and it says get 1 free if you buy one, do you really think that is free or built into the business case for the product cycle, The charges for some usages at the Squares is just another way of recovering costs or increasing profits. The squares have never been free it is just the what strategy used to recover the costs and/or increase profits. There is an old saying in Pricing Strategy and that is "if you have no competition then greed should drive your price." !! That defines a "free market"!!
The businesses around the square plus a subsidy from a government tourist tax pays the entertainers. Free to the residents.

People are easily fooled when they don't take the time to search out facts.

Can't imagine what golf course maintenance has to do with this topic.
