Dog parks are not good places to bring dogs with social issues.

It's important to determine whether his dislike of other dogs is fear, dominance, possession, or territory based. There are different methods to modify behavior, and you don't want to treat a fear based issue like you would a dominance issue.

I highly suggest that if you want this resolved, you consult a behaviorist in your area. (Trainers are NOT necessarily behaviorists.) Make sure you talk to the person you want to come out and explain the issues, ask if they have experience, etc.

Good luck!
