History

Ernest E. Debs was an early proponent of the Pan Pacific Park project before his retirement from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors in 1974, after which his successor, Edmund Edelman, took on the project. The park's development broke ground in 1981.

The historic Pan Pacific Auditorium, before it burned down in 1989, was located on part of the land that became Pan Pacific Park. In 2002, the park's Recreation Center was built on the same site, with a spire similar to the characteristic spires of the historic auditorium.

Facilities The park hosts the following facilities:

Swimming pool (outdoor/seasonal), baseball fields, basketball courts, volleyball courts, soccer/multipurpose sports field, children's playground, walking/jogging paths, small outdoor amphitheater, restrooms, parking lots.

Pan Pacific Park Recreation Center, opened in 2002 on the former site of the Pan Pacific Auditorium.

Pan Pacific Senior Activity Center, a senior citizen center with a gym, dining hall, computer lab, and auditorium.
