Pacific Park On Santa Monica Pier Celebrates 15th Birthday
Last week, Pacific Park on the Santa Monica Pier celebrated its 15th year as the only admission-free amusement park on LA's Westside (or city for that matter). If you've never been there, well you're missing a great time and opportunity to connect with one of Santa Monica's oldest landmarks.
The pier originally debuted in 1909 and has had a colorful history to say the least. The original version of the 'pleasure pier' began construction in 1916 and during the Depression era was shut down and sold off in sections. The Ballroom was lost in the early 70's and the entire pier was nearly lost in 1973 when the city bought it and contemplated tearing it down.
It managed to survive nonetheless and it received a historic landmark designation in the 80's and a restoration project formed and a rebirth ensued. 
Pacific Park opened in 1996 as a full-blown amusment park with many new features, rides and attractions. Today, it's going strong and if you're looking for something to do some weekend, this could be just the ticket for a day of family fun.
