Why can't I walk my dog in this "Public" park?

Cat Rock Park in Weston MA was once a great place for anyone to walk there dog or enjoy a hike. Unfortunately this upper class town's parking signs deter non-residents from coming and enjoying nature. To me, this as a subtle way of promoting nimbyism in parks and recreation. When I was a dog walker, parking restrictions like these made it harder for me to find off-leash parks to go to.  So in the spirit of april fools, I thought I'd take my dog for a walk in Cat rock Park and interview other park-goers about the parking restrictions.  Big thanks to all the good dogs in this video

Fun fact:  the average adjusted gross income in Weston, Massachusetts, is a staggering $860,400 annually, making the suburb the ninth-richest place in the nation.

What do you think of the parking rules? Do you have a recreational park near you that uses similar tactics? Shouldn't parks that are open to everyone have parking lots that reflect their visitors? If you feel the same, email Conservation@westonMA.gov and ask for change.
