The Eco Park will consist of an interpretive science-technology-engineering-math (STEM) education center that will give the students the chance to get hands-on experience working with environment conservation and other related topics.  The center will also support a research center for  use by colleges and universities, visitor programs that include tours, and a variety of other resources that allow the community to interact with the environment.  Plans to explore additional energy and recovery technologies are also part of the plan for the Eco Park.

The park will co-exist with the landfill, which will continue to be used as a gas energy plant which already generates 6.7 megawatts of electricity, enough to power 5,000 homes, according to officials.
