I assume the concerns about people visiting open spaces—even if social distancing—are largely about the other associated risks, from people using public transport to get there, going into shops to buy sandwiches/drinks, etc.
Why not restrict only those sources of contagion? Is it easier to prevent people from accessing parks than buses? (honestly, I don’t know)
This confirms my priors that outdoor contagion must be really rare. Moreover: if that’s true, then outdoors / environmental disinfection would be a waste, if not overall harmful.
Presumably they need to keep public transport operating for key workers, e.g. medical staff, supermarket staff etc. So if it’s available then others will use it to get to parks.
