Breaking Ground on Something Big
Dinosaurs Once Walked Here
Moms on Board (MOB) and the City of Sunland Park invite you to the official groundbreaking of Dino Dig, a one-of-a-kind dinosaur destination park coming to the Sunland Park Sports Complex.
Dinosaur tracks have been found at the base of Mount Cristo Rey, right in our backyard. Dino Dig brings that story to life with fossil dig areas, life-size dinosaur prints, climbing bones and a Paleo Path that walks you through dinosaur history.
Dino Dig is made possible through grassroots fundraising and the support of government, philanthropic and corporate partners. Come dig into the fun and celebrate this milestone with us!

252 to 201 Million Years Ago
Where It All Began
- The first dinosaurs appeared during the Triassic. Many were small, fast and walked on two legs.
- Earth's land was joined together in one giant supercontinent called Pangaea.
- Flying reptiles called pterosaurs took to the skies.
201 to 145 Million Years Ago
The Age of Giants
- Long-necked giants like Brachiosaurus and Apatosaurus roamed the land.
- Stegosaurus, with plates on its back and spikes on its tail, lived during this time.
- Pangaea began breaking apart into separate continents.
145 to 66 Million Years Ago
Home of the T. Rex
- Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops lived near the end of the Cretaceous.
- The first flowering plants bloomed.
- The age of dinosaurs ended about 66 million years ago, but birds are their living relatives today.
Era stops shown are planned for the Paleo Path. Final design may vary.
