ca. 1971. 1971 Richards color stock footage. Never Never Land inside Point Defiance Park. Humpty Dumpty welcomes a small family to Never Never Land in 1971 where nursery rhymes characters were artfully incorporated into the wooded area. Never Never Land first opened in 1964. Age, weather damage and vandalism sadly took its toll on the displays as decades passed. In July of 2004, Never Never Land was reopened as a family picnic and play area. Humpty still is present on his stack of books to greet visitors and several of the structures also remain. The one-half mile trail meandering through the forest has been renovated for easier walking.
