COVER CLOSE-UP 2

FALL 2021 | Close-Up

Vincent Rocco walked into the Park Avenue Community Center (PACC) for the first time back in 2003. "I was there to meet a friend," he recalls "and take a week long Intro to Computer Learning Class." While waiting for the class to begin he discovered the Pool Hall at PACC and entered for a quick game. Nearly 20 years later Vince is now a regular at the Pool Hall and he chuckles , "I never did make it to that Computer Class."

Seeing Vince smile reminds us that each day presents the opportunity to learn something new, or explore a new hobby. So browse this guide and join us this Fall for a new kind of fun! You never know when you'll find your next hobby of 20 or more years. For more information on our PACC Billiards program see page 33.

The Escondido Recreation Guide recently received the Award of Excellence in Marketing and Communication by the California Parks and Recreation Society.
