Discovery Day at Freshkills Park

Freshkills Park 350 Wild Avenue, Staten Island

Freshkills Park will offer a Discovery Day on June 26 2016 from 11am to 4pm. During the free event, 700 acres of the otherwise closed site will be open for tours and recreation.

At 2,200 acres, Freshkills Park is almost three times the size of Central Park and the largest park to be developed in New York City in over 100 years. It also has a significant history as the site of the former Fresh Kills Landfill, which was the largest landfill in the world before closing in 2001. Since then, the landfill has been covered with layers of soil and infrastructure, and the site has become a place for wildlife, recreation, science, education, and art. As the park is built in phases, free tours and events provide access for learning and exploration opportunities.
