High Line Park New York |
The High Line runs from Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District to West 34th Street, between 10th & 11th Avenues. The last train ran on the High Line in 1980, carrying a trainload of frozen turkeys. The project gained the City's support in 2002. Construction on the park began in 2006.
The first section of the High Line opened on June 9, 2009. It runs from Gansevoort Street to West 20th Street. The second section, which runs between West 20th and West 30th Streets, opened June 8, 2011.
The third section, the High Line at the West Side Rail Yards has not been secured for park use. Part of New York City’s industrial history, this iconic section of the High Line offers sweeping views of the Hudson River and the Midtown skyline. It also offers a glimpse at the wild landscape that grew up on the tracks when the trains stopped running.
At 30 feet above the street, the High Line features four passenger elevators to provide access to the park. With more than four million visitors each year, the High Line’s elevators experience a high volume of traffic. This video will show you more info about this amazing place.
