In 1982 there were four adventure playgrounds in Wester Hailes. In 1977 the Adventure Playground ('The Venchie') was slowly being developed by the tenants of Murrayburn. A grant was obtained in 1980 for four playworkers and a supervisor to work at Venchie. A group was formed the same year to promote Hailes Park Adventure Playground ('Quarry Venchie') by people from Hailesland, Dumbryden, Kingsknowe and Longstone. In 1980 Calders Playground was completed and in 1981 a Playground was built at Clovenstone. Wester Hailes Play Forum was formed in 1981 to manage all four adventure playgrounds and to coordinate any activities.
