That's right ladies and gents, the Sunland Park Plaza will open THIS Saturday, April 30th. After a long wait, the skaters of El Paso will get to ride this epic park! This weekend there will be some contests and some special surprises, sponsored by Crooks Skateshop! Get out there and show everyone what you've got! This skatepark is El Paso's best skate spot now, and is going to draw attention to the area! El Paso already got "Skate Town" of 2010, this only helps that reputation! Get out there people! This park has something for everyone! See you there!

Once all of the framework is complete, its time to enclose the letters and REALLY make them three-dimensional!
In the last Neon Desert Sign Update, the "NEON" letters had just been framed out. The picture to the left is a picture of Philip Sullivan putting the layers of ply on the first "N" of "NEON". Enjoy the pictures, and .GIF files. As with all the updates, check the video at the bottom of one of the bands playing at Neon Desert.
Both "N"'s complete!
Another 40 sheets of ply, and 30 - 2"x4"s

Sweet! Now that the "NEON" letters were completed, it was time that the painters start their work.
The "D" of "DESERT" was being built at the same time.
