To stop DN going in maze?

I have a four year old niece and one of my best friends has a three year old DD. We often take them to the park together.

There is a maze at the park. It’s not gigantic but it’s not small. It’s a square, the maze’s bushes are too high to see over. It’s got two exits, one on two different sides. My friend is happy for the kids to go in alone. I always usually go in with DN, although she knows the maze very well. I thought maybe I was being over the top to want to go with them, so stayed with my friend and her baby for about five seconds, then felt too uncomfortable and went and caught up with DN.

Am I unreasonable? Should I have let her go in alone with her little friend?

YABU - let her go in alone next time
YANBU - keep going with her - anyone could be in the maze

Well I don’t think it’s wrong of you to stay with her but what exactly are your concerns?
That she’ll get lost? Or that someone else in the maze might cause a problem? If you shouted her name across the maze would she be able to hear you? If she shouted would you hear her?

Oh god YANBU at that age.
