Dogs must be leashed at all times in our parks. Our two fenced-in Dog Parks are the only off-leash areas. UMT currently has two fenced-in Dog Parks (see details below).  For a complete list of our Dog Park Rules, click HERE.

Note to Dog Park Guests: Due to the popularity of the Dog Parks, our Parks staff must periodically close one or both sections of the the Dog Parks for maintenance. As you can imagine, there is quite a bit of wear and tear on these areas, and we are committed to keeping all of our parks beautiful and clean. Thank you for your patience, and for your help keeping our parks beautiful!

PA Dog Licensing

All dogs three months or older must be licensed by Jan. 1 of each year. Violators can be cited with a maximum fine of $300 per violation plus court costs.

An annual license is $8.50 and a lifetime license is $51.50. If the animal is spayed or neutered, the annual fee is $6.50 and lifetime is $31.50. Discounts are available to older adults and people with disabilities.

The small license fee helps the millions of dogs in the state by funding the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement.

Dog licenses are available from your local county treasurer and other licensing agents.

Reasons for Dog Licensing

• It’s the law. All dogs three months and older must have a current license.
• If your dog gets lost, a license is the best way to get him back. A license helps animal control and shelters identify your dog and get him back home safely.
• The cost of a license is less than the penalty for being caught without one. Owners who fail to license their dogs could face a fine of up to $300 for each unlicensed dog.
• License fees support animal control. The annual fee you pay to license your dog helps keep shelters running and supports the work of the Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement, which is responsible for ensuring the welfare of dogs, regulating dangerous dogs and overseeing annual licensing and rabies vaccinations.
