It has nothing to do with hating dog parks. The behavior described would be just as dangerous were it with a private play group.
I went to the dog park for a year with Raven (from 4 months until 1.5 yrs old) until SHE stopped enjoying being around all the other dogs and was getting picked on by dogs behaving like the one in the OP; they singled her out because she is submissive and it boosted their confidence.
The dog park can be great for the right kind of dogs; sadly a lot of adult GSDs are not the right kind of dog for a dog park.
