Off-leash dogs in a designated off-leash park and kids.

Most official dog parks are fenced in areas. There are very often unofficial dog parks that become that way through custom. You say that there are no signs indicating that children should not be present. Are there signs stating expicitly that it is a dog park? If it is simply a place where dog owners have taken to letting their dogs run off leash, it is very likely still illegal (though tolerated). Pressing the issue to have children excluded might call unwanted attention to the practice.

No, it’s designated off-leash. Their are signs saying as much (“Designated Off-Leash” with a happy dog in a green circle), just like thier are signs for some parks that say dogs must remain on-leash (“Dogs must remain on-leash” with a sad puppy on a leash in a red crossed circle).
