2 floors, 30 stalls, 1 awesome food park.

Food parks have been popping up left and right, but none quite as grand as The Yard at Xavierville, it opened its doors just last week.

There are 30 unique vendors specializing in almost every cuisine you can think of–Korean, Japanese, Filipino, Italian, you name it, they have it. So we thought we’d give you a first look because let’s face it, you deserve to know about it.

The Yard at Xavierville

The owners were inspired by food parks abroad and wanted to bring an industrial theme to the park. That’s why it’s all made out of shipping containers–three floors of containers to be exact. The first 2 floors are dedicated to the different stalls, while the 3rd floor is an al fresco balcony where you can eat and enjoy with your friends and family.
