Western Playland Amusement Park, Texas, United States
3.5 (64 reviews) Tuesday: Spent Ranking #31 in El Paso Amusement & Theme Parks
Small, Clean amusement park
Visited Western Playland Amusement Park over the Memorial Weekend. We attempted Wet-N-Wild Waterworld however; there was a concert and the lines were way too long. We decided to take the kids to Western Playland. The park is very small however; it has great potential to grow. My guess is that it will expand with more rides in the near future. It is very clean and well maintained. It has enough rides to keep two small children entertained for at least 2-3 hours. I understand they moved this amusement park to its current location in Sunland Park about one year ago. It is now in a better location.

Nice for what is there
This was my first visit to Western Playland. The park is actually located across the Texas border in New Mexico. I am not able to compare the park in its new location with its original location. There are several rides located within its grounds. There are two roller coasters and a few classic style rides there, including a Flying Scooter ride that is based on the classic ride in the early 1900s. The place has plenty of room to grow, and it is needed for patrons to spend a full day there. The hours are limited at best, especially during the week. One water attraction, a Shoot the Chutes ride, provides some relief from the blazing sun. The workers were not that friendly. I don't expect full conversations from them as they are busy, but a smile goes a long way. The water fountains are not chilled. Food prices are a bit high for a park of this caliber. It has potential though. There is a sign stating new attractions will be added soon. Hopefully, this will be the case. It is worth a visit. No gift shop available though, for those wishing to purchase a souvenir.

Fun but not fun at the same time.
For someone who's grown up and lived in El Paso all their lives, it's known that there are no theme parks around here except for this one and Wet-n-wild. The park is fun and the rides aren't to bad, but in the middle of the summer there is hardly any shade and the drinks are outrageously expensive. For the 20 bucks or so to go in it'd be better to head out to another activity in the area. The parking lot is also shared with that of the casino located next door so be careful of traffic especially in the evening.
