What Happened to Never Never Land!?
Recently, I found the Never Never Land on the Metro Parks website:
http://www.metroparkstacoma.org/page.php?id=241
This weekend I took my family to check it out.
How very sad!!!!
I can imagine what tourists visiting the park think when they see the remnants of what used to be a great attraction.
Who knows what goes on in those little houses now.
If maintaining Never Never Land is not a priority for Metro Parks, I would think that some neighborhoods would be thrilled to have some of these elements in their local parks.

Re: What Happened to Never Never Land!?
After our last excursion to Never Never Land, I talked to Metro Parks about it. According to Curtis Hancock, the spot is just too isolated to keep up with all of the vandalism.
It's a terrible shame, IMO.
This is what it looked like when we went in March:

if you contrast them with this photo I found on flickr:

You can see just how far the place has fallen since they stopped maintaining it in 2004.
According to Hancock, the never never land spot may become a Native American historical museum under the new park master plan.
Hurts your heart to look at it now though, doesn't it?
