The Parks and Rec staff has recent - ly made more improvements to the park including an excellent play and picnic area for the children and families of the nearby elementary school. Located across a bridge from Pacific Drive and next to the Hunt Branch Library is the Pooch Park - perfect for dogs and their owners. There is a small area for dogs weighing under twenty-five pounds as well as a large dog area for big, active, high energy canines.
