Plans Move Forward for Nearby Indoor 'Sports and Courts' Complex

A new indoor sports complex is a step closer to completion in the Cranberry area.

Pine officials have approved plans for Dave Gray’s Sports and Courts, indoor sports complex which will be located in a former warehouse at the intersection of Franklin and Warrendale roads.

Pine Township residents Glenn and Carol Foglio are partnering up with Gray, better known in the area as “Coach Dave,” on the Sports and Courts complex, which will offer children and adults the opportunity to play a variety of sports, including basketball, flag football, volleyball and more.

There also are plans to add a concession stand as host wellness and nutritional seminars for the community.

Gray said the new facility, which is located in a 6,000 former warehouse owned by Heurich Construction, would include a multi-purpose sports floor for basketball, football, dek hockey and other activities. It will be built in three phases.

“We really want it to be interchangeable,” Gray has said.

For the second phase of the project, the owners plan to add a large field house with turf flooring for baseball, soccer and lacrosse training.

As condition for approval by Pine supervisors, the developers agreed to limit the operating hours of the facility to be between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m.

They also agreed to submit a parking study of existing facility operations and concession area following Phase I and concession building construction and prior to the expansion of the recreation building.

Gray has said he hopes to have the complex open for business by mid to late August.
