Mountain Shadow Lakes' Ruins
This is a photographic essay of what remains of a park that was a staple of El Paso's entertainment history. All photographs were taken as an archive of what the park looks like in it's current state of decay. I DO NOT CONDONE THE UNLAWFUL ACT OF BREAKING & ENTERING, NO MATTER WHAT THE CAUSE.

You should try and turn it into a Renaissance Festival Type Theme Park. Copy the building styles as they have it at the Renaissance Festival in Phoenix over by Apache Junction and then add a kind of Neo-Stonehenge. A replica of how Stonehenge use to look when it was first built aligned to today's stars, sun and moon. Build a Castle looking Hotel with attractions like horse trails with horses to rent etc. An aligned Stonehenge replica even if made of cement could atract as many people as the original in England, especially if promoted correctly. The area can be rented out for weddings, quinceñeras and parties.
How about an update on the site? It looks good it, just needs more information on the site. Thanks.
I was there in 1981 tHe lake was new they put a chemical in the water to keep the bottom groth down and it killed all the fish which in turn made it unsafe to swim in the lake was closed
I still have a frisbee from msl
I also have a bumper sticker msl
It is a shame that this park had to close its doors to the public. It really was an awesome sight!
That never happened in 1981, what a bunch of crap
whatever happened to this? will it re open?? Need some info please
After being gone for 21 years I came back to the lake where I helped open it and to my surprise it's closed! So sad I have years of fond memories here!
This would be awesome. I go to Arizona every year with my wifes family for the Festival. They make so much money on this. Be great to have a local Festival.

I came here in 2009 with the boy scouts, everything still works like the building next to the lake, and the restrooms all in good conditionfully functional, and we also fished there.
