About this Event
Join the SI Hiking Meet Up Group for a guided 2 mile hike to explore Freshkills Park and support mental health on Staten Island during Suicide prevention Month.
This tour is donation-based and we suggest a $20 donation per participant. Your donation supports the education, programming, and research at the Freshkills Park Alliance and makes programs like this possible.
Accessibility: This tour will be an 2 mile walk. The roads themselves can be uneven at times. If you have any accessibility needs, please let us know in advance so we can best accommodate you.
Plan Ahead: Be “tick aware” and “weather aware.” Wear appropriate clothing, including close-toed shoes and sunscreen. Stay hydrated and make sure to bring water with you. All participants will be asked to sign an activity waiver before entering the park. Those under 18 need to have the waiver signed by a parent or guardian and be accompanied by an adult.
Location: We will meet across from the composting comfort stations (restrooms) in North Park Phase 1. Gates to North Park Phase 1 are located at 350 Wild Ave (parking lot entrance) and at Schmul Park (behind the baseball field). From here, we will walk together to North Mound.
