This is a city property. You are going to need a film permit from the city if you are doing a professional shoot. The ticket is very expense if you get caught by the park ranger. But, if it is for personal use and your equipment does not look professional and you don't use lights and microphones you can do it without a permit. But check with the city film office
I would call or go on their website to verify and or reserve a day

Yes, I see always people shooting photos there.
Not sure I'd say on weekdays yes on weekends ask before you go
