Description
The Works Progress Administration built a school athletic stadium in Clinton, OK.
Contributor note:
“The original WPA school was razed due to deterioration. This field was originally given to the town for use as a Little League field in the 1980’s, however today, the remaining stone wall encircles a playground area at Nance Elementary School. The wall and bleachers appear to be in fairly good shape.
The roughly laid native sandstone wall is stepped with a concrete cap, and encircles a two-block area between Hayes and Court. The west end along S. 13th Street is curved. On the north and south sides of the enclosure facing the original field are 7-tiered concrete bleachers. It’s nice to see this amazing wall still in use.”
