When I've gone to Walmart or Home Depot I've worn an N95 mask and gloves to protect myself. I see lots of shoppers not wearing anything and not social distancing. I've even see a few employees without a mask.
When I play golf I don't wear my mask and I do stay at least 6ft away from everyone else.
I weigh my risk and I make a decision based on that risk. From what has been posted on this site and on the internet the consensus seems to be that the viral load is substantially higher indoors in the recycled air and on surfaces not hit by direct sunlight. The wind and sun makes it harder to get enough of the virus intact to travel to you.
Those people seen socializing in the dog parks without a mask are taking a risk they're comfortable with. I'm not judging them. It's their choice and no, it doesn't affect me. Even if they're passing the virus around I still weigh the risk in a given situation. If the situation gets worse I'll evaluate the situation and weigh the risk again.
I'm not a doctor or expert so don't take my advice. This is just my opinion.
