National Guard and Park Police now patrol the edges, fencing has been added—though officials say it’s for July Fourth festivities—and mobile surveillance towers stand watch. Even touching peeling paint led to an arrest, as authorities tighten control over this historically interactive space. Once used as an ice rink or refuge during protests, the pool now hums with nanobubblers and law enforcement, reflecting a growing tension between public access and preservation in the face of alleged intentional damage.
