Description
The Works Progress Administration (WPA) developed athletic fields for Healdsburg High School in Healdsburg, California. They lie on the east side of the school, which is still in its original location.
Much of the original baseball field appeared intact in 2018 but a fancy new soccer field has been built on the west portion of the fields and we could not verify that the baseball diamond is still there.
