I discovered there’s at least one:

> **[GitHub - JuliaGeo/GeoParquet.jl: Geospatial data in Parquet files](https://github.com/JuliaGeo/GeoParquet.jl)**
>
> Geospatial data in Parquet files. Contribute to JuliaGeo/GeoParquet.jl development by creating an account on GitHub.

I’m not sure it’s supported in Arrow.jl (or needs supporting there), which does support all the (base) primitive types.

[Arrow is the new Feather format.]
