Once the world’s biggest landfill, Freshkills Park has undergone a radical transformation since the final trash barge sailed away in 2001. Now you can frolic through 700 acres of closed trails, ponds and meadows in the massive man-made park at this preview event. Bring your bike and take a scenic ride or join a guided tour and learn about the park’s new phases. Shuttles are available from the Staten Island Ferry.

Time Out says
This is your opportunity to walk through beautiful Freshkills Park and marvel at how it once was a giant pile of trash. No really, it used to be a garbage dump.
