At the November 7, 2018 Board of Supervisors meeting, changes to the Park and Recreation Ordinance, Chapter 138, were approved. The changes include off-leash hours for dogs at Township designated parks (Teegarden Park) during specified hours. All off-leash dogs must be registered with the Township and display the issued registration tag. Dog owners must provide the Township with a copy of the dogs license and vaccination records at registration. The fee is $25.00 per dog for Tredyffrin residents and $50.00 per dog for non-residents.
