| - Pittsburgh's Food Truck Park is a welcome addition to the city and especially to folks who bike along the 3 Rivers Heritage Trail. A great destination for biking, walking or driving for a unique experience. Pet and kid friendly. If you come by car there is a parking lot that can accommodate about 50 cars. The park is open air, but there are picnic tables with covering for shade and rain. Several port-a-johns and a hand washing station. When the park is open 3 food trucks are featured and the Beer Garden. The park has live entertainment on Friday evenings. The park is open only to private events on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays. They have a private indoor room for indoor events. Check out the website and face book pages for up to the minute info on featured food trucks and entertainment.
During my Yelp Elite event 3 food trucks were
Lone Wolf Grill offering delicious cheesesteaks, either on bread or over fries. The BBQ Cheesesteak had thinly shaved BBQ beef, crisp bacon, cheese a balanced bbq sauce, with butter pickles, and it is big. Taquitosco food truck is full of well, tacos, and a quesadilla, tasty, beef, chicken, shrimp or veggie tacos with classic or custom toppings. The dessert truck was TinRizzi, all about the ice cream. Custom blended flavors of lactose free ice cream. The Leona's sandwich I enjoyed was Rhubarb and ?. Super frozen, it didn't melt quickly. This is a big ice cream sandwich with a brown sugar crust. Each sandwich variety comes with a unique crust, popcorn, shortbread, cookie. I'll be back to try the caramel corn & peanuts on short bread. YUM. These are a large hand filled dessert, easily shared. And then there is the BEER GARDEN which is always there rotating many local drafts of beer and cider.
I visited on a glorious spring day with blue skies and warm temps. If you park by the Heinz plant it is less than a three mile ride to the food truck park.
