Mayor de Blasio initially locked the playground to prevent further spreading of the coronavirus, although he was allowing protests to go on throughout the city and participating in them. The community eventually came together to open the gates, and de Blasio responded.
Despite encouraging and participating in mass protests, @NYCMayor Bill de Blasio says "we're not going to allow people to take the law into their own hands” in regard to cutting the locks off playgrounds

"We're not going to allow people to take the law into their own hands,” said de Blasio. “Until the order is given that playgrounds are open, people need to stay off the playgrounds. It’s not appropriate to take their own actions… we’re doing this so that we can get to phase two and beyond.”
Yes. This is actually happening now!
