While I agree that what they do is good, looking at it from the council's point of view, they have potentially hundreds of people in the people, all causing damage and there is a good chance that a lot of people will not be paying anything to the council.
Take, for instance, my local park at work. A lot of people from my company go for a run either at lunch, before work or after work. Very few actually live in the area, so they don't directly contribute anything to the running of the park.
