Man, I would love to take my dog to a park like that! I can definitely see allowing children in a dog park that's so large and open. It's in the much smaller fenced in areas, like the 1/4 acre my town offers, that kids aren't a great idea.

That's a different sort of park from the fenced areas the OP talked about -- smaller enclosed areas in an urban/suburban setting.
But I have heard of such parks before. Most often I've seen them referred to as "off-leash areas," rather than "dog parks." Some of our large regional parks do allow off-leash (with firm voice command) in certain areas. Mostly, such areas are well marked, but not fenced off. Different sort of thing.
