SCENIC VIEW

Freshkills Park Overlook, Staten Island

A former landfill turned into the city's newest and largest park, and the man-made hills here offer a strange, wide-open view over Staten Island and the harbor that feels nothing like the rest of New York. Access is limited to scheduled events and guided visits, so check the schedule before heading out.
