Although dog parks are great for socializing with other dogs, they may not be right for all dogs. A dog park can make your dog more anxious or shy around other dogs. You might consider a quieter, smaller park that allows your dog to get used to the other dogs in a relaxed environment.  A dog park is a great place for socializing with other dogs if your dog is friendly. Be sure to supervise your dog at all times and ensure that he is safe. Ask your veterinarian or animal behaviorist if you are unsure if a dog park is the right choice for your dog.
