Cranberry Township is one of the fastest growing communities in Western PA. A progressive and well managed community that puts value into quality of life with its three large parks and municipal golf course. Altogether, Cranberry has over 700 acres in their park system. Cranberry Township Pickleball Association (CTPA) is run by volunteers in partnership with the Cranberry Township Parks & Rec department. Now in its 5th year of operation, CTPA has 1100 members. CTPA is responsible for the maintenance and expansion of the pickleball complex and will have just expanded to 19 courts in which 6 courts will be covered with a dome for 7/24 indoor winter play. All net proceeds from the tournament go back to CTPA's expansion efforts and to promote pickleball and expand our tournament capabilities. We hope you enjoy your visit with us.
