Taste of North Park: A Feast for the Senses!
This year’s Taste of North Park brought together food lovers and culinary explorers for an unforgettable day of deliciousness! From savory bites to sweet treats, local restaurants, cafes, and breweries served up their finest dishes, giving attendees a true taste of what makes our neighborhood so unique. Whether you were savoring artisan tacos, sipping craft brews, or indulging in gourmet desserts, it was a mouthwatering journey through North Park’s vibrant food scene. The only question is: how did anyone have room for dinner?

Coming Soon To The Mini Park: More Shade!
Exciting changes are happening at North Park Mini Park! This fall, new pergolas will be installed throughout the park, adding some much-needed shade and style to your favorite community space. The construction is scheduled to begin soon and will take about six weeks to complete. While certain areas of the park will be sectioned off, most of it will remain open for visitors to enjoy.
Curious about the exact spots where the pergolas will go? Check out the plans below.
