High Line, Elevated park in Manhattan
The High Line is a 1.45-mile-long linear park built on a historic freight rail line.
Originally constructed in the 1930s to lift dangerous trains off Manhattan's streets, it was repurposed into a park.
Numerous artworks and performances are hosted along the High Line each year.
It offers visitors views of Manhattan's urban landscape and the Hudson River.
The park's planting design is inspired by the self-seeded landscape that grew on the out-of-use elevated rail tracks.
