Even to non-gardeners, it is fairly common knowledge that dog & cat poop are dangerous to your garden. Your favorite pets' poop and urine have dangerous toxins, bacteria and parasites that can harm you and your other pets.
Would you eat herbs and lettuce coming from a field with dog / cat waste, garbage and exhaust from the nearby road?
Probably not. The concept at work is phytoremediation. Plants clean the soil and air by absorbing the toxins. That means though all the dangerous stuff are in the roots, stems and leaves. That's why you don't eat them.
That's why you shouldn't feed rabbits grass and plants coming from high-risk lots (parks, empty lots (people frequently throw garbage), gardens with pets).
If you're thinking of adopting a rabbit because you think these nearby "food sources" will make feeding them cheap, think again. It's a bad idea that will harm rabbits.
