Well, it's not easy to tell from the photo tbf. One side of the bench is propped up by a concrete block so maybe it isn't safe.

If there is nothing wrong with that bench, (apart from being in the wrong place according to them) that is totally out of order. In fact you could say it's discriminating against disabled people. I have bad mobility problems and have to sit and rest every few yards. This would prevent me from using the park in the way that a park should be used.

That's a footpath in the foreground, taking more pedestrian traffic than usual. Currently pedestrians are channeled along it as its one of the few ways through the park. It would be a surprise if Wireless went to such trouble over a park bench at that location.
My guess would be that its to prevent people from lingering in their park.
The security guards are not keen on photography and I and others have been challenged by the guards, including one incident on the east side, that was technically an assault (and the subject of a complaint to the police).

Annee following your spot, I took some further shots of the quarantined park bench.
If John's suggestion of protection from Wireless vehicles were correct, one might have thought the need "to protect" would extend to the rubbish bin alongside. It's all moot now as there is no longer public access to this part.

In a big moving crowd of people after dark in an indifferently lit park, a bench partly at knee height is a grade 1 trip hazard. The barriers are chest height so you can see them sooner or, if you're talking to your mates, your progress is arrested but you don't fall over. Prosaic if stupid-looking!
