The hills consist of up to 60 feet of garbage covered by a one-foot thick impenetrable layer of clay, covered by two feet of topsoil. The project site consists of 150 acres. The rest of the project is scheduled for completion in 2003. The currently-active landfill will be closed and added to the park. The hills are covered with natural grasses which turn a lush green in the rainy season.
Wildflowers bloom in the spring.
Paths covered with crushed oyster shells wind through the rolling hills. Small shrubs are planted in hedgerows, but there are no tall trees, since their roots would penetrate the clay cap over the buried refuse. Numerous small hillocks are arrayed on the top of the hills. Manmade artistic features are scattered throughout the park. Some of the features of the park are shown below.
