Seasonal Food Truck, Activities, and Fitness Concessions
Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) seeks unique and interesting business collaborations that promote and enhance parks through a shared commitment to healthy people, thriving environment and vibrant community. Opportunities vary, with some sites appropriate for kiosks, carts, trailers, and food trucks. Most locations do not have storage, water, or electricity available. Small businesses and Women and/or Minority Businesses (WMBE) are encouraged to submit proposals. Before submitting your application, review the site descriptions and visit the park location.
