Food Trucks at the Foreshore
This summer, locals can take a bite out of an exciting selection of food trucks while enjoying the stunning lake views as part of the Lake Illawarra Foreshore Activation Trial.
Shellharbour City Council has teamed up with six food truck vendors for a six-month event aimed at bringing lakeside areas to life. Starting in October 2024 through March 2025, a selection of food trucks will pop up every weekend at Reddall Reserve near Red Lantern Park (accessible from Windang Street and Reddall Parade). On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, approved vendors will also have the opportunity to set up shop at one of six additional locations (see map), offering diverse food experiences across Albion Park Rail, Oak Flats & Lake Illawarra.
