Please confirm:

While walking through the park, my feet got cut by the grass.


While walking through the park - modifier
This actually modifies I not my feet and thus the above sentence is wrong?


restructured:
While walking through the park, I got my feet cut by the grass.

correct?

Your logic behind using I is correct. But the new sentence is awkward.
It would be better to rephrase it as: 'While I was walking through the park, my feet got cut by the grass.'
