Pilot Project for Mobile Food Services in Parksville Community Park

February 6, 2025

At the February 3 meeting, Council approved a pilot project for the delivery of mobile food services in the Parksville Community Park. In October 2024, the agreement with the Parksville and District Chamber of Commerce ended and Council instructed staff to review the food truck program for 2025.

The pilot project is intended to provide improved concession services in the Parksville Community Park through a variety of mobile food vendors. City staff will coordinate, schedule and manage the delivery of mobile food concessions services in the park as a pilot project in 2025. The daily pad rental rates to be paid by the vendors will help offset the costs for electrical and water hookups as well as the enhanced level of service for waste disposal by the City. An analysis of the 2025 pilot project will be provided to Council following conclusion of the summer season.

Through an expressions of interest now posted to the City’s website, we are seeking mobile food vendors to provide services from the two existing food truck pads in the Parksville Community Park from May 1 to

September 30, 2025. The expressions of interest is open until March 3 and successful vendors will be advised by March 14. Details about the program may be found at this link.
