Based on public feedback, deep research, and the dedication of an advisory committee, the next decade of Cranberry’s commitment to parks stands to offer improved program offerings, continued investment into the Township’s parks, and the potential for a new community center building.
An updated Comprehensive Recreation, Parks, and Open Space Plan, adopted by the Board of Supervisors at the March 7 meeting, focused on the quality and diversity of parks and facilities, the corridors of connection and open space, and innovate programs to enhance the quality of life.
The Plan was created after more than a year of community involvement, including that of a volunteer Advisory Committee tasked with creating the Plan using feedback from various stakeholders.
A common theme found throughout the process was a lack of community gathering space and limited programmable areas. The committee found that serious consideration is needed for a Community Center and recommended a feasibility study on the matter.
