Saltmarsh Rehabilitation Volenteers
at Soundview Park

The 205-acre park at the mouth of the Bronx River was constructed on a former landfill. The Soundview Park Salt Marsh Ecological Restoration project has restored approximately 3.5 acres of Soundview Park’s salt marsh by excavating nearly 12 feet of landfill and adding clean material to return the area to appropriate salt marsh elevations. Efforts to further reconstruct the historic salt marsh are being planned.

Today, Soundview also offers the community access to sports fields, walking/biking paths, and nature viewing. McLaren recently performed topographical surveying using lidar scans for the addition of a new Recreation Center.
