I have done below modifications in your website:
Edit the problem page:
hidden link

1) find and select map block, in block setting panel, remove the marker setting, you can use below shortcode block to display the map markers

2) Find and select view block, add a shortcode block in view's loop, with below codes:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-post-type]' eq 'restaurant')"]
[wpv-map-marker map_id='Dallas-Fort-Worth-Map' marker_id='marker-[wpv-post-id]' marker_icon='//adventureswithmydog.com/wp-content/plugins/toolset-maps/resources/images/markers/Home.png' marker_field='wpcf-location-address'][wpv-post-link][/wpv-map-marker]
[/wpv-conditional]
[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-post-type]' eq 'park')"]
[wpv-map-marker map_id='Dallas-Fort-Worth-Map' marker_id='marker-[wpv-post-id]' marker_field='wpcf-location-address' marker_icon='//adventureswithmydog.com/wp-content/plugins/toolset-maps/resources/images/markers/Shop-2.png'][wpv-post-link][/wpv-map-marker]
[/wpv-conditional]

Above codes with check current post's post type value, and display different marker icon, you can change the "marker_icon" attribute value to other icon image URLs
