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>&#8220;We\u2019re going to work to explore the grants for the dog park component,&#8221; 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>&#8220;We\u2019re aware that small dogs and large dogs play differently and have different needs,&#8221; said Joanne Bergin, the township administrator. &#8220;All dogs will be welcomed. I sure plan to bring my bulldog there.&#8221;<\/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&#8217;s 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.
