Do you think they are good for our guides or should Becky and I stay away?  My husband would go with us, if you think they are alright.  He is sighted.  Tell me what you think.

There are just too many unknowns.

Dog parks can be small and friendly or they can be large and unruly.  Best you can find a friendly place and worst you can find a place where people bring their aggressive dogs because they enjoy watching them go after other dogs.  

Just my two cents but I would not go to a dog park.  I like the idea of controlled play with friend's dogs etc.
