Who owns Park in BDA approved layouts?

#1. Who owns the parks in BDA (Bangalore Development Authority) approved layouts? Is it Government or RWA? I know these parks are maintained by RWA. But who owns them? #2. Can only people from that layout play in that park or any citizen of India? #3. Can RWA stop kids above 14 to not play in that park but allow elders to play badminton? #4. Can RWA make temp rooms and toilets in park to be used by selective few?
