Great park but there are always aggressive dogs

I’ve brought my dog here a handful of times since he was a puppy, each time hoping it would be a better experience because this park is SO close and convenient. Almost every time there are aggressive dogs with owners who do NOTHING about them. This Saturday 11/3, a shepherd mix was harassing my dog (a very timid/submissive bulldog mix) and I was shooing the dog away as it growled at my dog for 15 minutes, looking around for its owner to take responsibility and pull it away from my poor dog. Eventually the other dog attacked mine and my roommate and I both had to physically pull the two dogs apart. Then the owner finally walked up but he was on his cell phone the whole time, said nothing and ignored us. Luckily my dog had only a few minor scratches (the other dog had none from what I could tell) and is up to date on vaccines.

This is NOT the first time this has happened at this park. Please be wary of bringing your dogs here, especially if they are timid and reactive. Many of the regulars, like the man and his shepherd mix (I have seen them here before) are irresponsible and inattentive.
