dog park question

We are recent returnees to the park with our new dog.  Hadn't been there for years. 

What's with everyone using the small dog side for dogs big and small?  I'm not complaining, the new dog is big and immensely powerful.  I'm just wondering if the small dog side is the place to be for some reason (and why little dog owners aren't complaining).


The small dog side is often used by owners of old, slow, or gentle big  dogs. The big dog side can get pretty rough. 


My sister has a small dog, she has reported that at times the big dogs in the small dog side can also get rough.  She has left earlier than she wanted to on occasion due to this.


From years ago when we took our old dog to the park, I always got the sense that the big dogs would turn the littlest dog into a fox or a rabbit to play hunt.
