Freshkills Park - This amazing park was the biggest garbage dump in the world … yes you heard that right. Fresh Kills used to be the biggest garbage dump in the world until it closed in 2001. After the Twin Towers fell, they briefly opened it again to clean up a lot of the debris. But now, they're turning it into a huge park called Freshkills Park. The park will have lots of things to do like playgrounds, sports fields, places to launch kayaks, art displays, and activities. Have you ever thought that a dump could be made into a park?
