Sharon Dog Park — Attraction in North Attleborough

So I just moved from Florida. My 6yr old mini schnauzer has been doing dog parks his entire life, no problems. The Sharon Dog Park ranks the lowest of all dog parks I've ever been to. Not only is it small and dirty, dog owners do not respect the rules of the dog park. It seemed they were more interested in socializing with each other than attending to their dogs. When I first entered the park with my 20lb dog he was greeted by several big dogs that simply would not let him come into the play area. They just crowded around him not allowing him to move, one German Shepard mix kept trying to hump him. This went on for 10 minutes while the owners did nothing but stand around and chat with each other. I understand that dogs need to socialize and set pecking order within the pack, but these dogs were clearly bullying my dog to the point that he was shaking and would not move. I made it clear that I was not happy with their behavior, but no owners came over to remedy the situation. The German Shepard mix continued to try and hump my little schnauzer so I started to scold him. That's when the owner finally came over and told her dog "no". That's it, then she walked away to go sit back on the bench with her friends and talk. A minute later the German Shepard was humping my dog again... and then at the same time another dog came over and tried to get in on it and then my dog finally snapped. He did not want to be humped and bullied anymore. The next thing I know, there are 5 dogs attacking my dog, one of them had my dog's head in his mouth at one point. No owners did ANYTHING. They just stood and watched. I had to get down on the ground and pull a husky mix and a German Shepard mix off of my 20lb mini schnauzer. Once i got him in my arms another dog came over and started jumping and biting me as I'm holding my dog in my arms. Unbelievable!!! Where are these dog's owners? My dog's never been in a fight in his life. The Sharon Park is a complete failure. Now my little dog has a nice gash in his head and bite marks all over his skin. I hope they shut this dog park down, the dog owners obviously do not know how to...

Park in a paved lot and walk down the wide trail to get to. It has 2 fenced sections; one is for small dogs. I haven't been about 2 months, but small dog section was overgrown, and the fence was down in the back corner and has been for a while now. The bigger section is a nice, big square. It does have some brush, some with prickers and some poison ivy. The footing is mainly packed dirt, natural ground and there are wood chips also that tend to get spread on the muddy areas. A water spigot is available, although not during the colder season. All but one kiddie pool, and there was at least 3, that were there were all busted and cracked so they were of no use, just hold small puddles for the mosquitoes, and there are mosquitos! Almost every time I have been, it seems to be mostly "bully" breeds and at times they had been aggressive with my dog and once he was hurt and I ended up at the vet. This is why we don't go anymore. If I could see the park from the road (you can't) and no one was there, yes, I would bring my dog back here. I have gone just to walk the trail around the park, but my dog wants to run free, and I have to fight him to get past the dog park, so I gave up. Safer to use the Sniffspot app. The town does NOT run this park, it is privately funded and managed, which explains some of the issues. But occasionally, someone will drop off items such as kiddie pools and tons of...

I drove over an hour to check this dog park out with my three year old daughter to find out she can't go till she's 10?!?! We have been to so many dog parks out of this state and I have never once seen one that had a rule about not allowing a child. My daughter maybe young, but every single dog we passed she would ask the owner if she could pet the dog because I taught her to ask before hand. She has been raised around and associated with many family members with dogs. All the signs about picking up dog poop isn't helping because I seen so much outside the park and on google search you don't see all the signs they have posted outside the fenced area. We went into the wooded area to play with our pup and build stuff with sticks. She said she was frustrated and I agree that should be my choice as a parent. You shouldn't from one the signs be bringing in aggressive dogs in the...
