Food Truck Parks—A New Fort Worth Must Try

While Central Market has provided Fort Worth foodies with the latest and greatest culinary offerings since 2001, it seems that more and more local, hip food places are starting to pop up around the city. Watch out, Austin!
Like I said, Fort Worth has recently been making strides in the “hip” department. Not only has the city adopted several of the latest workout trends (hello, PureBarre and CrossFit), but it has also nearly perfected the art of upscale Barbeque and craft beer, a winning combination whether you’re “into” food or not. While some of my restaurant staples include Rodeo Goat and Woodshed Smokehouse, I’ve started to pay attention to some of Fort Worth’s less permanent dining opportunities—making them even more desirable and crave-worthy.
With that said, the most interesting addition to Fort Worth’s food repertoire is not one, but two food truck parks. Clear Fork Food Park and Fort Worth Food Park both showcase a variety of local fanfare from Fred’s SmokeWagon (a mobile version of Fred’s Texas) to long time, local favorite, Salsa Limon. Luckily, each website provides easy access to a schedule so you can always keep track of when your favorite trucks will be serving, and of course discover new ones to try! Check out the links here:

Not only are the food parks a way to support local businesses, but they are also a way to provide a diverse and unique dining experience that caters to anyone and everyone. Clear Fork and Fort Worth Food Park both provide picnic tables for people to comfortably sit and enjoy their food at their own desired pace.
