The High Line Park is the mile long elevated park that has truly enhanced the area around the Meat Packing District and Chelsea. It is built on a historic freight rail line elevated above the streets on Manhattan’s West Side that opened in 2009. Walking along the promenade offers amazing views of the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline.
