Food truck park planned for Pittsburgh

August 4, 2017

The Pittsburgh Food Truck Park, billing itself as Pittsburgh's first, plans to open on the Allegheny River in Millvale this fall, pending approval by the borough council, according to The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

The outdoor and indoor space is the part of the Millvale Riverfront Park that once was Mr. Small's Skatepark on the riverfront trail and River Front Drive beneath the 40th Street Bridge to Lawrenceville.

The park will have up to six food trucks, plus a bar with 30 craft beers, a beer garden deck, outdoor tables, fire pits and a game yard.

Brothers Matt, Shawn and Tony Lang, who run the Lang Restaurant Group, considered launching their own food truck before deciding to start a place where other food trucks could thrive. They say there is a lot of interest from truck owners who want to be part of a 50-truck rotation.
