Mayor Marty Small, Sr. has announced that the City of Atlantic City will be accepting applications for food trucks to operate at two designated locations: Gardner’s Basin and O’Donnell Memorial Park. Beginning November 1, 2025, up to eight registered and approved food trucks will be permitted to operate at each site. City Council unanimously approved this ordinance over the summer. Since then, the City of Atlantic City’s Office of Economic Development and Zoning Office within the Department of Planning & Development have collaborated on preparations with the city’s Public Works Department on signage installation and designated striping at both locations, while working with the city’s Licensing & Inspection Department on the applications.

At O’Donnell Memorial Park, food trucks will operate along Captain John O’Donnell Parkway. At Gardner’s Basin, trucks will be stationed on city-owned property along the roadway between the Seawall parking lot and the Atlantic City Aquarium. Signs marking the designated vending areas are already in place. Hours of operation will be daily from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM. To operate in a given month, food trucks must be registered and approved by the first day of that month.
