A redevelopment concept plan for Lang Park, next to the Richmond Public Market, could soon be approved and it could usher in a new era of food trucks in the city’s urban core.
The “well used” urban park serves as one of the few City Centre places to eat lunch outside.
As such the concept will provide spaces for food trucks along Buswell Street, according to a city report.
Artist renderings show three trucks parked adjacent to the park. The food truck parking will be for a one-year trial period.
According to 48 public feedback forms from two open houses, the city will: keep the cherry trees, make the water feature smaller and more interactive, provide space for playing children and improve seating and lighting.
Council will need to pass the $800,000 renovations as part of its five-year financial plan.
