Fort Regent: 1980. Christian and Justine Whittingham, Lisa and Danielle Cabot, Suzy Donnelly and Samantha Drew all enjoy themselves at the Fort Regent’s newly-opened section of the children’s playground, “Ventureland”. This was an American ‘invention’ consisting of climbing frames constructed from timber logs, and aluminium supports, with rubber tiles underneath and which proved to be a great success and more popular than the existing playground at the Fort.
