Description
The federal Works Progress Administration (WPA) constructed a stadium for the high school in Collingswood, New Jersey ca. 1936. The current status of the facility is unknown to Living New Deal.
As of March 2018, Collingswood school officials are seeking voter approval for a plan to replace the stadium with a multi-sport turf field.
