HISTORY OF THE PACC
Our PACC History:
For 33 years, the PACC’s recipe for success has been simple. It’s been a combination of hardworking people who have a passion for Perham and the surrounding communities. The PACC is the only all-encompassing center in Perham. It was developed in partnership with the City of Perham, the School District and a group of community people who got together and created the 501(c)(3) business name called Perham Area Activity Center known today as The PACC.
The PACC underwent massive renovations between 2017 and 2022. Adding on 70,000 square feet to the pre existing building for a grand total of 140,000 square feet. Adding new equipment and even a new pool, the many changes make The PACC stand out in Perham as a high quality community facility. From adding a therapy pool to a state of the art kids playland, there is something for everyone here The PACC. To see our PACC Fit-Up Project timeline and current updates, click the link below.
