Off leash parks are provided as a place to let your dog off leash. If you have children who are afraid of dogs or if you yourself are afraid of dogs you should avoid these areas. If you have a dog who should not be let off leash then the same thing, You should avoid off leash areas. There are many parks etc where dogs can be walked on leash but if you own a dog who is aggressive and you can't handle it you need to rethink owning a dog. Remember dog obiedience? it's not to teach the dog it's to teach the owners how to work with their dogs.
My peeve is with people who try to teach their dogs by beating the hell out of them. Be consistant, if you can't handle your dog then lets be honest, you're the pet. Dogs make great pets but you have to be willing to invest time in training and companionship. Spend time with your dog, reward good behavior and for pete sakes pick up the scat.
