It's not just Independence Mall that is surrounded by Brick walls either. The blocks between chestnut and walnut and 3rd and 5th are basically entirely bounded by either Brick walls or vacant historic homes that the park service doesn't have the staff to allow visitors to enter them.
The whole historic area is a tragic disaster of urban planning of nearly unparalleled nature.

It's a shame it's in the hands of the federal government/NPS too, because they've obviously had no interest in the space. It's a shame what happened, but it's even worse that it's still just an empty lawn when it could be full of trees and monuments, fountains, benches etc. It would be nice if they had plans for 2026
