I had a quick look for notable structures or parks that were built on former landfill sites in the UK, and the main things I got from a search were the Liverpool Festival Gardens and a Metro train depot in East Yorkshire. The former doesn't have an article, the latter probably isn't notable. I can't think of another case where a prominent and well-known regional landmark is built on landfill.
