Off-Leash Dogs To Be Limited In Radnor Park Under New Resolution

RADNOR TOWNSHIP, PA — Radnor Township officials are working to strike a balance between dog owners and non dog owners who frequent township parks by establishing limitations on when dogs can be off leash in the parks.

At Monday's upcoming board of commissioners meeting, the commissioners are expected to approve a new resolution that would do just that.

If passed, the resolution would require all dogs to be on-leash after noon on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays in Skunk Hollow Park.

It would also lead to placing additional signage and infrastructure to let the public know that the Willows Park is a dog-free park, of any rules regarding dogs in Skunk Hollow Park, and appropriate etiquette for having dogs in Skunk Hollow Park;

The resolution, if passed, would require the Parks and Recreation Board to revisit and reevaluate these recommendations within two years unless circumstances warrant an earlier review.

Lastly, it would allow the township to set any usage restrictions necessary for dogs in Skunk Hollow Park for any pre-planned events and programs sponsored by the township.

Monday's meeting will take place at 6:30 p.m. in the Radnorshire Room of the Radnor Township municipal building.
