Join Staten Island resident Anthony Ciancimino for a tour of Freshkills Park’s North Park. This park is a beautiful oasis of wetlands and grasslands, where you can expect to see a wide variety of wintering waterfowl, raptors, and sparrows.

Meet in the parking lot at the end of Wild Ave (just past the Fairfield Inn & Suites hotel). Registration not required but encouraged. No limit. Free.

Notes on Accessibility: 

Trails are mostly flat, and we will climb a flight of stairs (optional) to the bird observation tower. There is a restroom on site.
