On June 11, 2011, the Sunland Park Sports Complex opened to the public! This park has taken years to complete, from the planning and funding stages to the final building process! The complex is a two million dollar sports facility, with soccer fields, a children's playground, and our favorite, a mega-sized skate plaza! The picture to the right is the skate plaza, the center piece of the whole complex! Check out our photos and .gifs of the Grand Opening! Enjoy!
