OVERVIEW
After years of anticipation, fund-raising, and restoration closely followed by local media, the park on the High Line finally opened in early June. The mile-and-a-half-long swath of green landscape, stretching from Gansevoort to West 20th Streets, includes linear concrete planked walkways surrounded by trees and wild flowers, a sun deck, an area for public art exhibitions, and the remnants of its past life as an elevated rail structure. Open daily, from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., the park has no official plan yet for event rentals.
