So you were there when it wasn't public property, legally speaking.
In this case, they mean "public property" as in it's the property of the public. It's owned by the government, by the tax payers.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_property
You're thinking public or state ownership. Public property is property generally meant to be used by the public. That doesn't mean that there aren't conditions to that use though, like hours of operation.
Most of this is in that article you linked...
But why should a public park have hours of operation? Benches and open space don't stop working after certain hours, don't take resources or workers to operate, they're just there. Why should we punish people for enjoying the outdoors?
Swing through Washington square park at 2 in the morning, better still if you can do it 20 years ago
You're buzzing around the point like a fly on shit
