Forget about the Park.Get your Pup Retrieving in an Enclosed Space first.Somewhere where the Pup cannot mess about with the Dummy.Somewhere where the Pup cannot get Past you and must bring the Dummy to you.Keep the Training Sessions Short.

The trouble with training in a park or somewhere similar is there are too many distractions from other smells etc. The dog needs to be somewhere where its mind is not going to wander.
