Western Playland is a 30-acre (120,000 m2) amusement park located in Sunland Park, New Mexico. It was located in Ascarate Park in El Paso, Texas from 1960 until 2006, but after conflicts with the county of El Paso, owner Pat Thomson decided to move it across the Rio Grande to Sunland Park where the owner of Sunland Park Casino donated land right across from his casino.
It is home to the rides Tsunami, El Bandido Roller Coaster, Paratrooper, Round up, Tilt-a Whirl, Pharaoh's Fury, Scrambler, Himalaya and more. The park is opened seasonally, usually starting in March all the way to October, with the summer being its peak season.
