Crowded, Small area, Poorly socialized dogs

I was reluctant to try this park bc we had been told by more than three different people that their dogs had been attacked when they went here, but it's the only actual dog park in Uptown according to this website so unless you want to get a membership at City Bark I'm not sure what else you can do. I pulled up about a month ago for the first time. There were over 30 dogs in this area that looked smaller than some abandoned lots in the city so I decided to try again on a less busy day. Also, the lot is mostly dirt so be prepared to give your dog a bath if yours likes to roll around. We went for the first time yesterday and there were probably 15-20 dogs. Within about 15 mins we witnessed a pitbull and another small-medium sized dog attacking each other, one of them we saw was cut up pretty badly and bleeding from it's muzzle afterwards. We got our dog and left immediately. This was early afternoon on a random Saturday so we may have just had bad luck, but because it was our first time there and from what our friends' told us, I doubt we'll ever go back.
