Freshkills Docent Training

At 2,200 acres, Freshkills Park will be almost three times the size of Central Park and the largest park developed in New York City in over 100 years. Free tours offer insights into ongoing development and unmatched views, and recreational programs provide opportunities to experience the hills and waterways before the park officially opens.

Also wear a hat and bring water and a snack. Tools and gloves will be provided. Do not attend if you are sick or have been exposed to COVID-19.Can't make it? You can still help by promoting our volunteer projects with your friends and neighbors. Students can receive credit for community service hours.
