Do you believe that the it is a violation of our civil rights when the government only allows protests in free speech zones? (This is not aimed at any particular protest. I just read about free speech zones in a local newspaper.)

I'm not talking about protests with physical abuse or trespassing on private property, I mean a civilized protest on public property that is paid for by the citizens.

Without specifics, I would say in general yes it is a violation.

What country you live in?
Never heard of this concept. Obviously there are places where protest might be inappropriate or where security considerations might take precedence. (For example, I have no problem with anti-globalization protestors but have problems with ones forcing themselves within a government buiding where they pose a physical threat. Freedom of speech is not freedom to assault.)
