It was made by many different people over a long period of time. Regulars come there and have picnics and do drink (although they are all older/of age people who simply enjoy spending time outside and letting their dogs play). There are trash bags in the fort and people are careful to pick up trash. However, I do hear that the police soon plan to tear this down, because they think people are sleeping in it.

My two daughters and their friends have made a similar fort in the woods behind our house. Fun to see them just making stuff up, like we did when we were kids; no pre-arranged play dates needed for a fort! One time, they laid down a neat and comfy moss carpet. And when I discovered they'd concocted a working latrine, I had to shut that down. The TP roll on a branch was nice touch, though. How cool is that?!

My guess is that some teens made it as a secluded place to drink. A more innocent explanation would be that someone made this just as a quiet place to bbq and picnic.
