(Cranberry Township, PA) A new recreation facility in Cranberry Township is set to enter the initial design phase. 

Cranberry Township supervisors voted unanimously to approve two contracts related to the proposed community engagement center at the board’s meeting on Thursday.

DesignStream LLC is going to be tasked with design development through an agreement with Cranberry Township of $1,339,356.

Supervisors also approved a contract regarding consultation services for the project with Sports Facilities Companies LLC.

According to Cranberry Township manager Dan Santoro, that contract costs roughly $55,000 to $60,000.

These contracts come after almost two years of feasibility studies and public outreach, as well as recommendations from an advisory committee in August of 2026 for a facility that is 100,000 square feet.

Kyle Beidler, the assistant township manager for Cranberry Tonwship, confirmed that the facility will have 20,000 square feet of turf and four basketball courts, and these can also be used as up to eight volleyball courts.

This center is planned for a property that is 10 acres at the intersection of Rochester Road and Thompson Park Drive.
