High Line Park – Manhattan’s Elevated Park

in Autumn in New York, Manhattan, Parks, Spring in New York, Summer in New York, Winter in New York

The High Line was originally constructed in the 1930s, to lift dangerous freight trains off Manhattan’s streets. Section 1 of the High Line is now open as a public park! When all sections are complete, the High Line will be a mile-and-a-half-long elevated park, running through the West Side neighborhoods of the Meatpacking District, West Chelsea and Clinton/Hell’s Kitchen. It features an integrated landscape, designed by landscape architects James Corner Field Operations, with architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro, combining meandering concrete pathways with naturalistic plantings. Fixed and movable seating, lighting, and special features are also included in the park.

    I used to climb up on these tracks when I was a teen skipping school in Connecticut and coming down to the city - where nobody from home knew I was at. It was great exploring the city in the mid and late 70s. There was so much more to it then - culture, danger,... than there is today.
  • I cant wait until dogs are allowed on the highline... I mean if we are properly trained i dont really see the issue, do you?
