From one Henry's mom to another... /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/PuppyEyes.gif
I would go online and check the county rules on the public parks and maybe even make a copy. I would return to the park (after I've had my coffee of course /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/heart.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/lol2.gif) and read the posted park rules to make sure that dogs are allowed. I would have my plastic baggies ready.
And if that park ranger returned and gives me a hard time, I would show him the rules and ask him why he was singling me and my dogs out. I would not raise my voice and I would not be disrespectful. If things did not de-escalate at that point, I would get his name and file a complaint at once.
This guy may already have complaints filed against him because he is consistently picking on (responsible) dog owners. You never know if yours is the only voice on this subject.
Good luck and let us know what happens. I hate to see Rusty and Henry not be able to return to the park.
