Go Behind-the-Scenes of Construction at Freshkills Park

The largest landfill-to-park project in the world is happening right here in New York City on Staten Island. Freshkills Park, a 2, 200 acre park being built gradually in phases, is set to open its first phase to the public in 2020. You can join an early access tour of the new park, the largest to be built in New York City in the past 100 years, with the NYC Parks Department and Untapped Cities.
