AIANY Industrial Waterway Tour: Freshkills Park in Staten Island

Sunday, October 6, 2024
9:30 am1:00 pm

Come witness one of the most remarkable land reclamation projects in history! Join AIANY guide Arthur Platt on an extended tour to Staten Island's Freshkills Park. This tour offers a limited "backstage pass" to experience the transformation of the region's former largest garbage landfill into today's park. The cruise will enter a network of tidal kills (or streams) to explore the unprecedented land reclamation project, nearly three times the size of Central Park.

NYC Parks and AIANY guides will provide insightful narration about cutting-edge landscape architecture and engineering, urban planning, and the industrial architecture and infrastructure of Staten Island's northwest shore. This tour is operated in partnership with Classic Harbor Line.
