The High Line is a 1.45-mile elevated linear park built on a disused freight rail viaduct on Manhattan's west side, threading through the Chelsea and Hudson Yards neighborhoods at roughly twenty feet above street level. Native plantings installed in the gaps between reclaimed rail ties change through the seasons, and the park's elevated walkways offer shifting perspectives on the Hudson River, the surrounding streetscape, and the Hudson Yards towers. The section overlying Tenth Avenue includes a steel-framed viewing spur that projects over the street.
