Photograph Freshkills Tour

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.

Freshkills Park

Join a small group of photographers and document Freshkills Park’s transformed landscape and wildlife!

Join a small group of photographers and document Freshkills Park’s transformation from landfill to 2,200-acre park. This guided tour is an opportunity to see and photograph the unique engineered landscape while the site is closed to the public. We welcome photographers all skill levels, but you must bring your own equipment, whether a digital camera, film camera, or your phone!This tour is donation-based and we suggest a $10 minimum donation per participant, but we understand everyone is in a different position to give and thank you for whatever you can. Your donation supports the education, programming, and research at the Freshkills Park Alliance and makes programs like this possible.Your ticket admits 1 car and all cars must stay on-site the whole time. Participants may not use a bicycle, taxi or ride-share service. Accessibility: This tour will drive and stop at several spots in the park with minimal walking. The roads themselves can be uneven at times.Plan Ahead : Be “tick aware” and wear long pants, close-toed shoes, and insect repellant. Also wear a hat and bring water and a snack. You will be asked to sign an activity waiver before participating in the program. Do not attend if you are sick or have been exposed to COVID-19.
