We have performed measurements of scintillation light in liquid neon, observing a signal yield in our detector as high as (3.5 $$\pm$$ 0.4) photoelectrons/keV. We measure pulse shape discrimination efficiency between electronic and nuclear recoils in liquid neon from 50 and 300 keV nuclear recoil energy. We also measure the \leff\, parameter in liquid neon between 30 and 370 keV nuclear recoil energy, observing an average \leff$=0.24$ above 50 keV. We observe a dependence of the scintillation time distribution and signal yield on the pressure and temperature of the liquid neon.
