This once hidden piece of land on the west side of New York, now dubbed The High Line, has been transformed into a contemporary, hybrid, public place. Built on a raised, historic freight line, The High Line has become a mecca for those wanting a different take on the usual New York City parks. Nestled between rail tracks, weeds, and gravel, this unique space provides visitors with a place to come and enjoy over 100,000 plants, plus the 18th Street Plaza – a plaza that features trees and a curved garden bed. Unlike most parks, The High Line prohibits bikes and skateboards.
