We do have public parks in New York and other cities that are privately owned, and people walk through them.. homeless people sleep in them.. and, yes, people sometimes do drugs or other illicit activities. The police patrol them like any other park.
Here's an example: Zuccotti Park in NYC where the Occupy Wall Street protests were held:

They're called POPS:

Are you now saying that the owners of these parks are legally liable for the actions people take in them? What about city parks: is the city government liable?
What do you base this legal theory on? Why haven't these park owners been arrested if this were true?
Do you have any legal training?
