I think Dog Parks are a good idea but I also feel that anywhere you take your dog they are at risk for contracting some form of parasite. So ensuring your pet is on preventative you should be okay. We live in an apartment so we don't have the luxury of having a yard that is only full of "poop we know". So to protect Troy, prevenatative and up to date on his shots he gets.

There is one dog park I've taken Troy to and it's large and I usually don't take him off leash because he's only 4 pounds and there isn't a section specifically for smaller dogs. To socialize Troy he goes to doggy day care and he visits with my best friends shih tsu
