California county seeks to transform underused park into food truck court

July 15, 2019

Santa Cruz County, California is hoping to make an underused park at the Benchlands at San Lorenzo Park into a food truck park. The county plans to launch a pilot program to rotate four or five food trucks at the park, according to a KSBW-TV report. 

The county hopes to duplicate the success that Redding, California has had for the past year with Carnegie Park. The park was not a popular public space, was used for illegal activity and was fenced off until the city, with the help of a local businessman, turned it into a food truck court, the report noted.
