Tatiana Choulika, Senior Associate at landscape architecture and urban design firm James Corner Field Operations, will present the first phase of design for South Park, one of the five sections of Freshkills Park.
At 425 acres, South Park comprises some of the most varied and scenic landscape within the extraordinary Freshkills Park site. It is envisioned as a connected series of overlooks, meadows and recreational facilities including walking and biking paths, softball fields, play areas and event spaces. This phase of South Park will also be the first project allowing public access to the top of one of the site's mounds, with expansive views of Staten Island and beyond.
Freshkills Park Talks is a lecture series on topics related to the reclamation and development of Freshkills Park. The series is organized by the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation in conjunction with a variety of citywide partners.
