But the township has specifically eyed Angela Hibbard to be the site of a dog run area, a frequent request from residents, according to the mayor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to work to explore the grants for the dog park component,\u201d said Ducey, explaining that the township has already applied to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection for a grant that would cover a large part of construction.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, officials are favoring a plan where two separate dog areas would be built \u2013 one for small dogs and one for larger dogs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re aware that small dogs and large dogs play differently and have different needs,\u201d said Joanne Bergin, the township administrator. \u201cAll dogs will be welcomed. I sure plan to bring my bulldog there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Angela Hibbard, several parks in Brick have upgrades planned over the coming year, including Colorado Park and Lake Riviera Park. At Tuesday night\u2019s council meeting, the governing body will vote on whether to solicit bids for improvements to Colorado Park.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fb-share-button fcbkbttn_large_button \" data-href=\"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/2014\/12\/brick-eyeing-dog-park-to-be-built-at-existing-park\/\" data-type=\"button_count\" data-size=\"large\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brick Township is looking into the possibility of adding a dog park at the site of Angela Hibbard Park, Mayor John Ducey said Monday.
