Kingston getting upgrade for shot put, discus areas
The Cedar Rapids Community School District is in the process of rebuilding the shot put and discus areas at Kingston Stadium as part of a $284,000 project.
If all goes according to plan, the Cedar Rapids schools will have a state-of-the-art facility with safety nets instead of chain-link backstops. Bleacher seating also is planned, although probably not for 2013.
The area bordered by 8th Avenue and 15th Street SW was used as the temporary home for the school district during the post-flood era from the summer of 2008 through this past spring, but the school district has moved into its new headquarters along Edgewood Road NW and all 35 trailers have been removed from the Kingston grounds.
