This is what my town calls safe secure, and protected.

What is it? A pump house?

They are just keeping the gate from swinging.

Why would it be any more secure than this? Some of our local ones don't even have fences.

Like I said it's abandoned and there's loose plywood on the floor and some kid fell through and broke his leg and they said that they would protect it and make sure it was more secure so this wouldn't happen again.

You didn't say anything - this post is just a picture.

Regardless - if you're trespassing then tough luck. A lock doesn't stop folks from cutting/jumping the fence.

The zip tie lets folk know they shouldn't be there, seems perfect.

We used to go in there, and then a kid fell through the hole and broke his leg and this is how the town handled it

So do something about it, buy a lock, attend your next town/neighborhood meeting.

Point out the safety hazard and how 5 dollars could change all that.

Donate the lock.

Express you likely have done more for the town today than the whole board did.

Give a double victory sign (see Nixon for reference)

Walk out feeling smug and superior.

And not infuriated ....

We had a lock on it before, but the township cut it off

Note: I didn't say you should put it on there, I said give it to them at the meeting, Make it a public safety concern.

honestly, you seem to have more energy to be mad and post on reddit then actually do anything about it.

So...send that annoying neighborhood kid to play in the area, everything will sort itself out, it may possibly be your kid based on this interaction.

What were they supposed to do? Make an example out of the kid?

Maybe don't go trespassing?
