The Westmoreland County Bureau of Parks and Recreation wants to remind patrons that pet owners must keep their animals on a six (6) foot leash while visiting any Westmoreland County park, trail, or property (County Ordinance: Section VII-A).
The Westmoreland County Park Police will be enforcing this ordinance and any person violating this rule will be subject to a fine of between $25 - $600.
Westmoreland County has two (2) off-leash dog parks at Twin Lakes and Cedar Creek County Parks. These dog parks have separate fenced-in areas for large and small dogs and feature a double-gated entrance system. These facilities are self-policing and pet owners are responsible for their dogs at all times.
For more information, please call the Westmoreland County Bureau of Parks and Recreation at (724) 830-3950, or visit www.co.westmoreland.pa.us/parks.
