Part of the problem is determining the threshold and keeping the crowd size below it. If nobody else is at the basketball court then sure, it’s safe. But the basketball court is empty because a lot of people who would love to play are staying away and respecting the closure. Why shouldn’t they get to be the one person at it? Some sort of queuing or permitting system could work in theory but it’d be difficult to enforce.

Unfortunately, the policy here in the bay area has been to entirely shut down some trails, while leaving others open, concentrating people into the few permitted locations. The resources are clearly available to block off the trailhead parking, so they are also available to reduce the the same locations to 50% capacity instead.
