Go inside the construction of Freshkills Park, the largest landfill-to-park project in the world. This massive project currently underway in Staten Island will result in the largest New York City park to be built in over 100 years. Slated to open in phases starting in 2020, you can be among the first to see the park on a special behind-the-scenes tour.

As the 2,200 acre park is being built, NYC Parks has offered Untapped Cities early access to visit sections that are currently closed to the public. The tour will provide a chance to go behind-the-scenes and discuss the topics that the park project addresses, including waste management and urban ecology. If you are an Untapped Cities Insider, you can join this tour on August 31st for free! Not a member yet?
