I do agree with you about the small high strung breeds being more likely to bite. But it is safe to presume the large powerful breeds are far more likely to do more trauma than a small dog in the event they do bite. And that very real possibility of significant injury and ensuing costs (especially when the lawyers get into “mental anguish”) is the primary reason for the restrictions and bans.
Actually I am a little surprised a park would allow certain breeds in if the dog owner has liability insurance. A park can be sued independently of you. I guess I would be surprised if your policy would cover any supposed “negligence” of the park.
