That's a cool find! Camwood Park isn't exactly brimming with well-documented historical markers, so that's pretty intriguing.

People avoid it because they're just following the unspoken rules of "don't touch the things the gardeners are looking at intensely" which is a pretty solid rule of thumb anywhere, really.
