Langley City Council approved a summertime food truck and alcoholic beverages in parks pilot program. This pilot program will help support the economic recovery of our restaurants and small businesses in Langley City and allow people to safely enjoy beer, wine, or other alcoholic beverages during a picnic with friends and family.
As part of this pilot program, people who operate a food truck will need to have a permanent food service business located in Langley City.
The City will permit food trucks in commercial areas outside of the Historic Downtown area, including parking lots, if the operator has the permission of property owners.

The City will also allow one food truck each in the parking lot at:
- City Park, west of Al Anderson Memorial Pool
- Linwood Park
- Brydon Park
- Sendall Gardens
- Portage Park
- Penzer Park
- Uplands Dog Off-leash Park
The City must approve the schedule for any food truck operating in a park.
Food truck operators will also need to follow good neighbourhood rules around noise and garbage.
On Fridays and Saturdays from 1:00 pm to 8:00 pm from July 1st through September 30th, people will be allowed to responsibly consume alcoholic beverages in McBurney Plaza, select areas in Douglas Park, and the picnic shelters at City Park.
The following map shows the select areas in Douglas Park.
