One of the great things about living in Clark County is the number of parks, trails, and green spaces available. With 130+ parks and more than a dozen trails there are plenty of places to get outside and enjoy these beautiful, crisp fall days. Over the next few weeks, I am going to feature just a few of these parks...if you have a favorite park or feel like I've missed one of Vancouver's hidden gems, let me know! Leading off the series is Pacific Community Park at the corner of 172nd Ave and 18th St in East Vancouver.
With over 56 acres, Pacific Community Park has a little something for everyone. Dog lovers can enjoy an 8 acre fenced in dog park. Sports fans can shoot hoops at the basketball courts, kick a soccer ball around the open lawn areas, or drop-in on their skateboard to the 10,000 square foot extreme park. With so much to do, you'll definitely work up an appetite. So, why not take bring a cooler and have lunch at one of the picnic areas? There are both covered and uncovered spaces, available on a first-come, first-serve basis. After lunch take a stroll through the naturally beatiful backyards demonstration garden and pick up some eco-friendly gardening tips.
Parking is available off of NE 172nd Ave, just south of NE 18th St. The park is open from 7 AM to dusk. For more information, go to http://www.clarkparks.org/projects/pacific.htm.
