New 'Food Truck Fridays' Launch at Fort Bend County Parks for July 2025 Parks and Recreation Month
Fort Bend County Parks and Recreation is turning up the flavor this July with a brand-new, family-friendly summer tradition: Food Truck Fridays in the Park. As part of the County’s celebration of National Parks and Recreation Month, residents are invited to experience local parks in a new way—through music, laughter, community, and delicious bites served curbside.
Food Truck Fridays officially launches this Friday, July 11, at Jones Creek Ranch Park in Richmond, with festivities running from 4:00 to 7:00 PM. Guests can enjoy a curated lineup of food trucks offering everything from savory plates to sweet treats—all against the backdrop of one of Fort Bend County’s most scenic green spaces.
“Bring your friends, family, and appetite,” the department encourages. “It’s a delicious way to kick off your weekend.”

A Legacy of Parks and Purpose
The Fort Bend County Parks and Recreation Department, established in 1995 by Commissioners Court, now oversees more than 2,777 acres of parkland, with over 2,200 acres designated as wetlands. This includes 10 active parks, four community centers, and the Fort Bend County Fairgrounds. The department also maintains trails, sports facilities, splash pads, fishing areas, and community spaces—making it one of the most inclusive and ecologically diverse park systems in the region.
