Description
The Civil Works Administration (CWA) developed school playgrounds in Keeline, Wyoming in 1933/4.
Cassity: “School life appears to have been significantly upgraded by the CWA workers at schools in the towns and countryside alike. Playground facilities, often taken for granted, came now where there were none previously. At Keeline, five schools added playground equipment like teeter-totters, merry-go-rounds, and swings.”
