I am all over the place with this. In a city with leash laws they are the only place you officially can let your dog run.

We have had good n bad experiences at them. Mainly with my big male he is not dog aggressive but is a very confident and dominant male.

This one park I go to has a code of conduct rules posted. This might explain how most owners are right on top of their dogs if they act out.

This one time and it was the worst situation. I stupidly brought both the big boy and my Yorkie in together. A pittie breed I don't know maybe ten minutes later entered with owner on the far side of the park. I only had time to tight leash my Yorkie into the picnic bench . By then that other dog had started to attack my magic. He never saw it coming as he was returning a toy to me. The dog had to leap to try to get magics neck, he failed. Magic spun so quickly it was like he was young again. Then he place his head over that pits back neck and I just knew what he was going to do. He was going to grab dog by the neck and break it. I stopped him. By this time the owner who came at a dead run had arrived. He apologized and leashed dog and left.

Then we have had so many pleasant interactions with all my dogs. Getting to know the folks that come and their doggies. Razzle was so enamoured with an Aussie shepherd he did not stop running for 40 minutes.

That is so beneficial. Even some are recognizing me. I get aren't you the lady with the big dogs or aren't you the lady with the Yorkie. Lol
