The park is a portal. Walking anti-clockwise will open portal and walkers will get sucked in alternate dimension. It is for your safety.

This is an old rule & makes sense for parks used for walking - esp smaller parks with narrow walking paths. Lots of people - young & old - have fallen quite badly because people came from the wrong direction.
