As an artist, I think that is a piece of conceptual art. I don't think it ever was intended to be a playhouse. (Just an opinion, I wouldn't know for sure)
And people should hate the people who decide to sue at the drop of a hat just as much as they hate lawyers. If you look at the rules of supply and demand...
Yes, you could be right. If it's conceptual art, the sign would be much less annoying.
However, I do know that many cities have removed merry-go-rounds and teeter-totters for fear of lawsuits. It's also been a federal crime to sell lawn darts since the early 80's. So it's certainly plausible that it was placed off-limits for liability reasons.
And I also agree that the people who hire the lawyers are equally deserving of opprobrium.
