<p> At 2,200 acres, Freshkills Park will be almost three times the size of Central Park and the largest park developed in New York City in over 100 years. The transformation of what was formerly the world&rsquo;s largest landfill into a productive and beautiful cultural destination will make the park a symbol of renewal and an expression of how our society can restore balance to its landscape. In addition to providing a wide range of recreational opportunities, including many uncommon in the city, the park&rsquo;s design, ecological restoration and cultural and educational programming will emphasize environmental sustainability and a renewed public concern for our human impact on the earth.</p><p> The Freshkills Park Design tour will depart from the St. George Ferry Terminal in Staten Island, and will take you by bus to see behind the scenes at Freshkills Park.&nbsp; Freshkills Park staff will be on hand to guide you through the history of the site as the Fresh Kills Landfill and share with you the development of new capital programs at Freshkills as part of the Draft Master Plan for the site designed by James Corner Field Operations.&nbsp; The bus will meet at the base of the steps leading away from the ferry terminal and towards the Staten Island Yankees Stadium.&nbsp; The tour lasts roughly one and a half hours and will return to the Staten Island Ferry.</p><p> Please sign up for this tour by visiting our <a href="http://nycgovparks.org/freshkillspark">Freshkills Park</a> page and proceeding to Tours &amp; Events.&nbsp; Details may confirm that the location is from the Eltingville Transit Center, but please note the tour will leave from St. George for this event.

Movies Under the Stars: Remember the Titans

22:00

<p>Join NYC Parks and the New York City Mayor&#39;s Office of Media and Entertainment for a free film.</p><p>A high school football coach finds himself fighting for stakes much higher than the State Championship in this drama based on actual events. In 1971, a court order forces three high schools in Alexandria, Virginia (two white, one African-American), to integrate their student bodies and faculties for the first time. As a result, Coach Bill Yoast (Will Patton), longtime head coach of the T.C. Williams High School football team, is asked to step down, and Herman Boone (Denzel Washington) is appointed to replace him as the school&#39;s first black faculty member. The new coach is hardly welcomed with open arms, either by the school&#39;s staff or the students, and the newly integrated team is full of players (both black and white) who have little trust or respect for one another. But Boone is determined to put a winning team on the field -- it&#39;s how he approaches the game, and his future depends on it. Against long odds, Boone helps his team overcome distrust and misunderstanding of their coach (and each other) as they become a gridiron force to be reckoned with.</p><p><strong>Know Before You Go</strong><br />You should arrive before 8:00 p.m. to get your spot. Feel free to bring a blanket to sit on;&nbsp;there will be a limited supply of chairs available. Bottled water&nbsp;is&nbsp;OK, but no glass. Reservations are not taken;&nbsp;space is available on a first-come,&nbsp;first-served basis. All are welcome!</p>
