This is a unique urban park in New York City that was created from an abandoned elevated freight rail line. It is a 1.45-mile-long linear park that runs from Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District to West 34th Street, between 10th and 12th
The High Line is a 1.45-mile-long (2.33 km) elevated linear park, greenway, and rail trail created on a former New York Central Railroad spur on the West Side of Manhattan in New York City. The High Line's design is a collaboration between James Corner Field Operations, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, and Piet Oudolf. The abandoned spur has been redesigned as a "living system" drawing from multiple disciplines which include landscape architecture, urban design, and ecology. The High Line was inspired by the 4.7 km (2.9 mi) long Coulée verte, another elevated park in Paris completed in 1993.
