Fresh Kills Landfill, New York City Slide 2 Fresh Kills Revamped
The release of the 61-page blueprint to reclaim 2,200-acres at
Fresh Kills in Staten Island was announced by Amanda Burden, Hon.
AIANY, Chair of the NYC Planning Commission. The plan, produced in
tandem with the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation, envisions
the look and experience of the park identifying activities such as
kayaking and mountain biking. Designed by landscape architects
Field Operations, five distinct sub-areas within Fresh Kills will
be defined by their physical attributes and the desires expressed
by the public. The Department of Parks & Recreation will
spearhead construction of the park with an initial allocation of
$100 million in city capital funds for the first phase of the
project. Slide 3 Slide 4
