I see situations like this all the time. I have never had any issues because at the first sign of something wrong I leave and we find other ways to have fun for the day.

People have tried this crap at our park too sometimes! It irritates me... I don't mind big dogs at all, and I let Jackson hang out with ones that I know, but there's a reason I bring him into the SMALL dog side of the park... and when people bring a big dog in, it makes me
The only time I don't mind is if it's an elderly big dog (the rules state old big dogs are allowed) who just sits around by their owner anyways.
I'll do the same thing as you... if I come across an owner that I don't like or a dog that is not behaving, I simply just leave. Believe it or not, a 4lb yorkie causes me to do this. He is the most annoying little guy, he constantly is humping Jackson (not neutered) and causing fights with all the dogs and the owner just laughs about it... every regular knows who this Yorkie is and always leaves when she gets there.
