Doing Business With The Park
 

Gateway Business Services

Concessioners fill a vital role in helping the National Park Service carry out its mission. Private companies enhance visitor experiences by providing services that NPS sites otherwise would not provide. 

In 2011, nine concession operators provided services at Gateway National Recreation Area. These concessions included food concessions, beach clubs and other recreational operations.

By welcoming the private sector as a partner in park operations, the National Park Service broadens the economic base of the region in general and the communities surrounding the parks in particular.

Parties looking for business opportunities are advised to regularly check this site and the NPS Commercial Services Program website. For further information, e-mail us at the Gateway Business Management Office.
