Above Chelsea and Points Further North

Jun 11, 2009 | 0 comments |

Chelsea has just become a bit more green. After what seems like an eternity, the first phase of the High Line has finally opened to the public as a park.

Originally built in the 1930s to safely transport goods throughout Manhattan’s then industrial West Side, the tracks have sat empty since the last train rolled through in the 1980s.

Phase one, which runs from Gansevoort in the Meat Packing district to West 20th Street is open daily from 7 – 10pm. Phase two will extend the park up through 30th Street.

To learn more about the High Line, its struggle to survive and the reconstruction visit TheHighLine.org.
