Celebration Park is a new waterfront bar and food truck park in Naples, Florida. It’s got everything you need:
Food Trucks? √
With eight diverse food trucks, there’s something for everyone: curry, barbecue, gyros, fresh/organic, locally-sourced gourmet, pizza, desserts, seafood, sandwiches, tacos, etc.
Yummy Food? √
Korean Beef Tacos from Smith Organics Food Truck: brown sugar soy London broil, kimchi slaw, siracha aioli, crushed peanuts.
Southwest Grain Bowl from Smith Organics Food Truck: brown rice, grilled plantains, black beans, Brussels, heirloom tomato, chimmi churri, chia seeds, with chicken add-on.
Quite possibly the best grilled cheese we’re ever had, from GiGi Gourmet.
Cocktails? √
Celebration Park has an outdoor waterfront bar, serving creative and fun cocktails, as well as wine, beer and soft drinks:
Tunes? √
On the Sunday afternoon that we visited, an awesome DJ was spinning fun and festive tunes. Every once in a while people would sing along or dance. Celebration Park also hosts live music events.
Charming Water Views? √
It’s not on the beach, but rather is situated on a charming inland waterway. Celebration Park makes for a great spot to enjoy a bite, a drink and some music!
Wine shop? Great sit-down restaurant? Carry-out? All within walking distance? √√√√
Just across the water, within a very short walk, is the amazing Three60 Market.
Three60 Market serves a wonderful brunch or lunch. Don’t miss the tomato tart.
And they have a full array of carry-out food, in case you don’t feel motivated to cook for dinner. And pick up a terrific bottle of wine from the small but discriminating wine shop, with excellent prices.
The owner of Three60 Market is the genius behind Naples’ new Celebration Park. She had a dream of developing a vacant dirt lot. Go here for the whole story.
I can’t think of a thing that could make a day at Celebration Park any better. And now I’m craving those Korean beef tacos!
