Default dog park- tips on socializing?

so yesterday was our first attempt at the dog park. we have this great park by us with 2 fenced in areas one for small dogs and one for big dogs. peanut hasn't really been exposed to many dogs, just some dogs in our building, and one puppy meetup. me and my boyfriend both work and it's been so cold out that finally the nice day yesterday let me bring her out. she just got spayed about a month ago too which was a concern for me. anyways when the other dogs left her alone she would walk around, not too far from me but be fine. she would laso just sit between my legs and watch the other dogs play and seem interested. but once dogs came over to say hello, she would freak out run away, hide behind me or jump onto my lap and scramble up my shoulder. is it just a matter of her getting used to being around dogs? any suggestions of what i can do, should i keep bringing her and gradually let her play on her own time?
