When did they "allow camping throughout parks"?
All they did was repeal one specific law. They didn't remove Austin Park's curfews or make trespassing overnight in parks legal.
In fact, during the repeal they explicitly retained camping in parks as prohibited.

"Additionally, all residents
must still follow city rules as it relates to parks, sidewalks, waterways, etc. Park curfews and park rules about not
camping, for example, would still apply. "
