There is plenty of explanation why. If you can't see the construction material piles, the tree-removal equipment, and the cherry-pickers that lift a worker around 80 feet up in the air, then you're literally missing the forest for the trees. Those machines are cleared out at night - and the park is closed at dusk so you shouldn't be there at those times anyway.

This is hurricane season. They're preparing the park for possible damage, which apparently they do every year.

It's an inconvenience for a couple of weeks out of the year.
