If you have to put a shock collar on a dog in order for her to behave at the dog park, then she doesn't belong in a dog park IMO. I am not judging, or trying to be rude, just offering my thoughts. I am not a professional but have done a lot of reading and studying on dog behavior and trained my own dog very well, as well as those I dogsat for and family members pets. So this is just from my limited experience. But your dog is a huge liability now at a dog park... if she hurts and/or kills another dog, she could be taken away from you or quarantined, etc. It just doesn't seem worth the risk. Like I said I do understand shock collars, prong collars, etc, and they have their place somewhere but believe they should only be used by trained professionals and under direct supervision of one.
