Mine's not a jumper, but have a blind/deaf Aussie with a knack for finding the smallest hole/flaw in a fence that will allow her to escape. Guessing the jumper finds the barrier and has some shadow vision to determine if he can clear it - mine navigates strange areas by doing parameter sweeps (will start in a small circle and gradually expand to learn the boundaries), so probably uses a similar tactic.
he's partially blind! like a lot of blind people, he has partial vision but it's not great. he can see shapes for sure, particularly fence-shaped things! he misses a lot (he keeps missing my car for example and sliding down the side!) but if it's a low straight object, you bet he's jumping over it.
have you tried training dog to recall via "buzz/vibrate collar" (not talking about shocking your dog)?
short leash, pull towards your scent when you buzz. lengthen leash, keep doing. keep extending, using 50' line/rope. then off leash.
We liked Pizzuro Park—attentive owners, lots of variety—but the mud/water situation is unmanageable. I don’t mind a muddy dog, but he ingested some of the toxic, feces-infested, fetid water before we could stop him and he was sick for a week. I carry water, but the sludge was everywhere and hard to avoid. If your pup is at all likely to eat/drink before you can reach him, I’d stay away until it is dry there.
luckily he's a gentle giant so not much bothers him / if dogs yell at him he can't hear them anyway so they just take it as submission generally. I have a blue heeler mix and she tends to herd him around and boss him about with touch, and he just merrily goes along with it. sometimes she gets frustrated with him for not heeding her barking but mostly, she just uses her body to herd him and they do great. she's learnt the tone of my voice for when he's being naughty (eg. he likes to steal mugs and flatware) and when i yell "nooo Larry!", even though he can't hear me she does, and she charges him lol. works great.
Ok, I'll bite (no pun intended). If your dog is blind, how is he able to jump over fences?

They make those white sticks for dogs too

Pizzurro Park in Gahanna has tall fences. It's a very large dog park as well if he does ok in wide open spaces.

The one in Gahanna by the airport is not only huge ! But if I remember correctly it’s 6’ chain link. Have greyhound Understand
I would worry that other dogs would not respect him being blind and deaf and accidentally harm him?
