Outdoor pickleball courts listed on official Lancaster County pickleball directory page (co.lancaster.pa.us). One of three county-listed pickleball locations (along with Buchmiller Park and Overlook Activities Center). 2026-06-16: SOURCE CONFLICT — Official Manheim Township page (managing authority for Stauffer Park, 1241 Lititz Pike Lancaster PA 17601) lists four tennis courts, three basketball courts, volleyball, soccer, and softball, but does NOT mention pickleball courts. Lancaster County government page (co.lancaster.pa.us/2609/Pickle-Ball) lists Stauffer Park as a pickleball location. Governing authority (Manheim Township) does not confirm pickleball at this park. Cannot verify pickleball courts exist at Stauffer Park. Recommend phone call to Manheim Township at 717-290-7180 to resolve. 2026-07-24: Manheim Township's own Pickleball Advisory Committee minutes (Jan 22, 2025, manheimtownship.org/Archive/ViewFile/Item/3329) deepen rather than resolve the existing conflict: the committee's own 'Dreams' discussion treats future pickleball expansion as happening at the Overlook complex, not explicitly confirming courts exist at Stauffer Park itself, even though the committee happens to meet in a building physically within Stauffer Park. Re-confirmed (unchanged) that Manheim Township's own Stauffer Park page still lists only tennis/basketball/volleyball/soccer/softball, no pickleball. Recommend the previously-suggested call to Manheim Township (717-290-7180) or the Pickleball Advisory Committee specifically to determine whether pickleball is genuinely played at Stauffer Park or whether the county's public listing is simply outdated. 2026-07-31: Manheim Township's own page for Stauffer Park (manheimtownship.org/1241/Stauffer-Park) itemizes the park's courts as 'four tennis courts, three basketball courts, one volleyball court' — NO pickleball among them; the township separately lists 'Overlook Pickleball Courts' elsewhere in its own amenities nav as a distinct facility (part of Overlook Activities Center/Community Campus, a different location). However, Lancaster County's own pickleball-locations page (co.lancaster.pa.us/2609/Pickle-Ball) explicitly lists 'Stauffer Park, 1241 Lititz Pike' as one of 3 named county pickleball sites, separate from its own 'Overlook Activites Center' entry — so the county treats them as two distinct pickleball locations, not a mislabel of one. Genuine primary-source conflict, not resolving by picking one: the operating township's own facility page for Stauffer Park omits pickleball; the county's recreation page places pickleball there anyway. Added the township Parks & Rec general line (717-290-7180, from the same Stauffer Park page) since it's needed regardless of which location is correct. Court count/hours/cost remain unconfirmed and the location itself is now in question — needs a call to settle whether pickleball is actually at Stauffer Park vs. Overlook only.
