Cranberry Getting SportsCourts In Graham Park

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA - By mid-October, an impressive new addition to Graham Park should be built and operational.

Construction of the Cranberry Township Community Chest SportsCourts is getting under way after preparation work is completed on the project’s infrastructure, which includes utility lines, grading, erosion control and a restroom.

The project will include eight pickleball courts, two tennis courts, four horseshoe pits, three bocce courts and a community garden. Along with SportsCourts construction, the park’s access road is being shifted closer to the park’s western edge to provide additional parking spaces near the Miracle League field. Traffic in both directions will be maintained throughout construction via temporary roadways.

Community Chest officials last year embarked on a $750,000 fundraising campaign to pay for SportCourts. Founded in 1975 by the Cranberry Township Rotary, the Community Chest’s mission includes encouraging residents to support, volunteer or join one of the more than 40 nonprofit groups in Cranberry and Butler County.
