Overview

The High Line is a 1.45-mile elevated park on a former New York Central Railroad viaduct on Manhattan's West Side, running from Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District through Chelsea to 34th Street near the Javits Center. It was inspired by Paris's Promenade plantée, with construction beginning in 2006 and opening in phases in 2009, 2011, and 2014, with planting, public art, benches, and views of the Hudson and city streets. It passes through Chelsea Market and its success inspired other cities to convert obsolete infrastructure to public space.
