I came here a few years ago to help a friend shoot a music video for his independent record label. A dog came into the park, and their owner didn’t seem to know what they were doing, or how to properly handle their dog around people.
I have a Staffordshire Terrier Mix, so I have a lot of experience with handling an aggressive dog around people, this person allowed their dog to tear the clothes from a bystander. It was a strange interaction to observe, because both the dog owner, and the individual who got his clothes torn off acted like it was nothing and went their separate ways shortly after.
I got in the car with my wife, and promptly drove straight back to Newark. Haven’t returned to the park since.
