Industrial Waterway Tour to Freshkills Park – Go to where few have gone before! We’ll sail by the Statue of Liberty, then cruise under the Bayonne Bridge, threading the NJ & Staten Island border through the Arthur Kill. We’ll see the industrial waterfront alive and thriving in Newark Bay, before we reach the world’s largest Land Reclamation Project – Freshkills Park.
This 30-year project will become the City’s largest public park. We will literally navigate into the Kill between the four capped giant mounds – home to 53 years of NYC garbage! Officially closed in 2001, Freshkills Park is the largest landfill to park transformation project in the world and when complete will be one of the largest parks in NYC. At any rate, it’s rolling grasslands, wetlands and waterways are already home to an abundance of birds, fish, and wildlife. Learn about how this environment is being recovered, reclaimed, and repurposed into a world renowned public park! Undeniably an exciting, educational, and inspiring trip will be had by all.
