Dogs Permitted Township Parks Map

The following are reminders so that can work together to keep our parks and trails as places that everyone (both 2- and 4- legged!) can enjoy year round!

1.) While dogs are not required by Township code to be on a leash in our parks, they are required to be under control and close to his/her owner at all times. Please be courteous of others who share the parks and trails with your pet.

2.) Leaving waste on the ground is a health hazard! Look for receptacles located throughout our parks for bags and garbage bins that you can use to quickly clean up after your pet. Receptacles/Bag Stations are not located everywhere, so we strongly suggest bringing your own bags with you and taking your trash with you when you leave the park. Please do not deposit waste bags in our parks or on our trails! 

Please report emergency issues by dialing 9-1-1!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION!

Fishing Areas

Saw Mill Park (666 Earles Lane)
Saw Mill Park is a 4.2 acre linear park located along a stretch of the Little Darby Creek at Darby-Paoli Road and Saw Mill Road. Fishing is permitted for all ages along Little Darby Creek. Parking is available off road along Saw Mill Road and Earles Lane.

Skunk Hollow Park  (600 Darby Paoli Rd)
A portion of the Little Darby Creek runs through the park and fishing is permitted for all ages. Parking is available only at either the Willows or Saw Mill Park.

The Willows Pond (490 Darby Paoli Rd)
Fishing restricted to resident children, 15 years of age and younger. 

Fenimore Woods Pond (1194 Eagle Rd) 
A large portion of the park is woods and undeveloped land, with three streams, a pond, and marshland. The 3 acre pond, surrounded by benches, provides excellent fishing. Fishing permitted for all ages. 

Ithan Valley Park (642 South Ithan Ave)
The Ithan Creek runs through the length of the park and fishing is permitted for all ages. 

Fishing Line Clean Up & Recycling Matters!
Each year, more than 100,000 mammals die from ingesting debris or becoming entangled in fishing lines, nets, and other types of fishing gear.  Fishing line, regardless of what type, can cause serious damage when disposed of improperly.  These problems stem from the fact that fishing line isn’t biodegradable. Instead, it can remain in the environment for over 600 years!  Please do your part to stop this by recycling your fishing line and netting at a recycle station (see image below) located at the Fenimore Woods & Willows Park ponds and at Saw Mill Park near the fishing stream (*more locations will be evaluated in the future).

Reel In and Recycle!
