The city of Pacific has some issues. First of all, there is no official address for this park and it's a little difficult to find (707 W. Congress is the pool address, which brings you here so I'm using that). Second, there is no park section on the city's official website. Some places list it as the Pacific City Park, and some places list it as the Pacific Community Park, so I'm not even sure of the correct name. If you go to Pacific's Facebook page you will find people complaining about these things. However, if you can get past that, this is a nice park. 

When you first come into the park you will see the public pool. This pool isn't huge, but it's open to anyone and it's cheap! It's open 12-8 adults are $3, and kids are $2. Near the pool is a merry-go-round, some baby swings, and 2 slides. As you drive you'll see lots of ball fields and a concession stand, I'm sure this is a busy place when kids are playing ball. 

The playground near the pool is just slides, a merry-go-round, and 4 baby swings.

The sand pit looks like it used to be a sand volleyball court.

The playground at the back of the park is much larger. There are lots of things to do here, including 2 baby swings, 4 sling swings, a balance beam, bridges, drums, a puppet stage, a rock wall, and a spider web climber. There are 2 different play structures, one for older kids, and one for younger kids, with lots of things to climb on, slide down, and enjoy.

Bathrooms

There is fitness equipment sprinkled throughout the park. 

Very large pavilion next to the playground with BBQ pits and electricity.
