New York City's newest park is now open. Located on top of an old elevated railway on Manhattans West Side, from Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District to West 20th Street, in Chelsea, between 10th & 11th Avenues. Access points as well as how to get the park via subway can be found here.
The High Line was originally constructed in the 1930s, to lift dangerous freight trains off Manhattan's streets. Abandoned in the 1980's it was eventually reclaimed by nature. Seeing the wildflowers grow gave inspiration to what has become High Line Park. Winding through lower Manhattan its a mix of New York's industrial past with beautiful green space and views of the Hudson River.
