Logistics & Planning
Parking: SPARK Social offers limited on-site parking and additional paid lots along Mission Bay Boulevard. Street parking is generally available but fills up fast after 5pm.
Dress code: Completely casual — shorts, tees, and sneakers fit right in with the park vibe.
Noise level: Moderate to lively, depending on event nights. Expect outdoor chatter and music from nearby trucks but still manageable for conversation.
Weekend wait: 15–25 minutes for food truck lines; seating is open and self-serve.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait unless there’s a private event or big crowd.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited — mostly sides like fries or tots, depending on the truck’s rotation.
Vegan options: Minimal — check if seasonal sides or salads are available from nearby trucks.
Gluten-free options: Some wing sauces are gluten-free, but cross-contact is possible due to shared fryers.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you’re aiming for a fun, casual outing. It’s outdoors and informal — better for low-pressure hangs than romantic dinners.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — seating is first-come, first-served with picnic tables and communal benches throughout the park.
Is it kid-friendly? Very — open-air setup with lawn games, wide space for strollers, and other trucks offering family-friendly options.
Best For
Better for: Group hangs and casual happy hour wings in an open-air park setting with cheap drinks nearby.
Skip if: You’re seeking indoor comfort, full table service, or quieter dining — this is a lively outdoor setup.
