How can I become a food vendor at Klyde Warren Park?

Klyde Warren Park’s food trucks are essential to our guest experience, and our revenue-sharing model helps keep the Park clean, safe, and active. Our goal is to assemble a diverse selection of artisanal food options for our guests by bringing distinct food vendors that complement each other.

Currently, our food vendor service spaces are fully committed. However, we keep a list of interested vendors and consult that list when we have an opening for a particular type of food.

To be considered as a potential vendor, please email info@klydewarrenpark.org with the following to be added to the food vendor interest list:

•A copy of your menu (remember to include pricing)

•A photo of your truck or cart (no trailers)

•Your utility requirements/generator specifications and truck/cart dimensions

•A copy of your city permit 

Please be advised that we can only consider your truck once it is fully operational and has a complete menu. Vendors are added to the interest list once they have submitted all the above information. Adding your business to this list does not guarantee a service space in the Park, but it is our way of keeping track of your desire to operate in the Park.  

Thank you for your interest!
