In-Depth Information
Today the professionally landscaped green space has a wholly natural feel to it, inspired by
the rugged landscape that sprung up on the abandoned tracks. More than 210 plant species
call this little island of nature home, including sumac and coneflowers.
Carefully planted birch trees offer visitors some shade, while the built in benches offer a
comfortable spot to just unwind. Sitting in the park, you will not only be able to have a
break from the hustle and bustle of New York City, but you will also enjoy breathtaking
views of the Hudson River, and the surrounding urban jungle.
One of the most unexpected impacts of this revitalized track is that it has encouraged the
redevelopment of the neighborhoods that run parallel to the High Line. The local renais-
sance is ongoing, and is sure to result in a complete re-birth of this section of Manhattan.
The high line is fully wheelchair accessible.
Where:
The High line runs from Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District to West
34th Street, between 10th and 11th Avenues. You can access the High Line on: 14th St
