Sounds to me like you did the correct thing, not your fault they don't want to listen. Some people choose to remain ignorant. You handled it well, and Gracie was a perfect lady. (((hugs))) to you & your gorgeous girl.
I'm really taken aback. I have had people ask if Star is a wolf or wolf hybrid, but NEVER has anyone be so rude as those people! Most people I encounter want to pet them and just want to be sure they are friendly. As Glacier pointed out, there is some prejudice by some, but not all, insurance companies. But at our previous house, before they would insure us, they came out and took photos of Star and Rosie, my RB rotti-mix, "just in case".

I hate it when people say those things. Your Gracie from what I can tell by you sig is one of the sweetest looking dogs I know. What is with the people at your dog park? Here you can take a huge dog like that and all the people will love it. If I saw you I would pick my dog up because she is afraid of big dogs. I would let her get used to gracie. Then she could do whatever. I am glad you won't stop walking. You shouldn't. And those people need some serious education on dog breeds. 
The neighbor's sibe is one of the most beloved and well known dogs in the neighborhood! They really mostly are even fine with the bullmastiffs, American bulldogs, and few pitties.
