Western Playland closes before moving to new location
Posted
Throughout Sunday, El Pasoans flocked to the collection of rides in the heart of Ascarate Park before Western Playland closed its doors for the season. Western Playland owner Pat Thomson plans to move the operation to a 60-acre site in Sunland Park next year, and about 3,000 people spent a final time at the amusement park, where crushes were born, appetites were lost and memories still linger.

The park was quaint and had a nice selection of rides but was landlocked. The new location will allow Thomson to get that woodie he's wanted for some time now. I hope his new location does him well ;)
How sad another classic amusement closes for good...
How exciting a brand new amusement park opening next season! ;)
Wow. At first I thought that was talking about PNE Playland. I'm still in awe of God. Still sad to see a park go though. :(
