Tim Bushnell2 weeks agoA beautiful long above city park built from a reclaimed MTA track that wanders from Chelsea to the Hudson and ends a few blocks from Madison Square Garden
You can walk from 14th to 34th and not realize you walked all the way to midtown. Love that there's so many benches and places to sit so you can just chill out, look at art and think.
DaisyApril 27Better to walk on the hanging park than in NY streets. Offer sometimes great view. Very touristic though
marcus LApril 20Too crowded! Come here in the early morning or on bad weather days. Otherwise it is like in a shopping mall without shops. You can't even stop. The crowd moves you!
Georgios GatosApril 18Beautiful walk. Worthy of your time. Start from the up side and walk down towards Chelsea market where you can find a lot of interesting activity
take it to chelsea market for lunch or dinner then visit the Frying Pan Bar in summer - on the pier - a classic NYC on the water venue - W 26th StreetUpvoted 2 weeks ago
Compulsory for tourists and locals, the High Line offers something different in all seasons with its scenic views, eye catching art, manicured gardens, and smattering of markets.

Jessica WickhamJanuary 26One of the absolute must sees in New York. Go again and again for each season to find and explore different aspects. Always something new to spot!
Victoria I.January 23Definitely one of the best place to go for a walk in NY and also a great example of modern urban design
Jelle Van den EedeJanuary 14Great walk on a sunny day! Really like what they've done with this old subway track and turn it into a park.
Juul SpeeDecember 30, 2016Go in the evening when it's dark for a quieter experience of the park and the view of the city.
H. NetoDecember 28, 2016It was a nice plafe, some nice views from NYC but too crowded and because its winter of course you will see no life and green!
Estefania HDecember 23, 2016Probably my favorite thing in NY along with Kayaking on the Hudson. Don't miss out on this and take your time.
Go for a walk midday during the week when it's less crowded. Great voyeur opportunities into the fancy pants apartments along the highline as well 😏👀Upvoted Apr 27
Helen OlanderNovember 8, 2016hat little I saw was beautiful and now I want to go in he spring s see it al and maybe take the tour. It is worth it to go see the High Line Park.
Max PolloOctober 31, 2016very uniqe place. neither park nor tourist path. must see if you're in chelsea.
Jay GaoOctober 24, 2016Really peaceful during early mornings, perfect for jogs. And sunsets are glorious. Walking the entire distance gives gorgeous views of the city.
Elizabeth LeeOctober 18, 2016Rail way track converted into an outdoor park - great way to admire NYC's city views. Remember to check out the various art installations along the way.
Kirill MazurOctober 13, 2016Great park above the ground. Need to see if you like parks and something unusual.
Lauren AlexaOctober 7, 2016One of my favorite free activities in Manhattan! Definitely a good spot to take an out of towner.
- David FiresterOctober 5, 2016I like to start at the North end and walk down to the South end. Nice scenic albeit crowded walk.
Dilara CumhurOctober 1, 2016Semi touristy, semi local thing to add to your to do list when you visit New York
Burcu KaradayiSeptember 23, 2016People are using this place gör many activities. Running, hanging, date, sun bathing...
Brett VSeptember 21, 2016A beautiful new addition to the city. Bring your walking shoes and check it out
Owen HerterichAugust 28, 2016Super fun and cool to walk along this elevated park. Have a beer up there by the river.
The high line route is best started at chelsea. 4 poke gyms on the way and tons of pokestops.
- Jordan TaylorAugust 21, 2016One of the best free things to do in New York! I really want to go back at night the next time I'm in New York.
Daniela SzwarcAugust 19, 2016grab a lobster roll at chelsea market and enjoy a pic nic with a view at High Line <3
Sara 🌈⚔🍾August 19, 2016Amazing views and a great place to just chill. More fun to walk up and downtown up here!
Elliot ChanceAugust 16, 2016It's a park in the sky. It runs for about 1.6 miles but there's lots of places you can get on or off it along the way.
Beautiful promenade with different situations along the way. You can find seating spots every few feet and there are water fountains to freshen up.
Dave SawyerAugust 5, 2016Be prepared to walk in a single file line for a mile or so if it's a nice weekend day.
Dan SohaydaJuly 26, 2016Very crowded these days. Best to avoid when full of people because the paths are narrow at certain parts and you can't easily pass.
Pinkwhiskey girlJuly 26, 2016Take your time deciding which cart to buy a goodie from since they all have something offer! Also enjoy the views & the quiet above the city!
Huiping HuangJuly 21, 2016This is the perfect location to watch a NYC sunset. Simply put, one of the great urban parks. What an amazing place!
Brian StraussJuly 18, 2016Stunning. A lush and modern architectural wonder. Amazing to the see the city from 15 ft above the pavement. You've never walked 15 blocks so quickly.- Diyana D.July 11, 2016Stunning scenery and genius idea, wish there's one back home :-) Try the velvet-raspberry sandwich icecream at their flea market!
Ale TowerJuly 10, 2016Horribly crowded by tourists over the summer, sadly, although it gets better towards later in the evening. Amazing spot otherwise.
Justin McKissickJuly 3, 2016The most underrated tourist destination in the city - you have to go walk it! The views are incredible.
Fernando Araya CarvajalJuly 1, 2016Great place for a walk, nice to relax and a different view of NYC
Mark BramhillJune 25, 2016A great park. Start at the southern tip and walk the full way north past Hudson Yards. The new northern expansion is my favorite part — quieter, more natural. Gives you a new perspective on the city.
Josenny TorresJune 19, 2016This place brings such peace and comfort, whether it's just sitting and enjoying the view, or taking a walk down the highline. You'll leave feeling brand new
Cameron GidariJune 17, 2016One of my favorite outdoor places in Manhattan. Get there when the park opens at 7 AM to enjoy the view without the crowds.
They change the art installations frequently, so its never boring.
Roger RJune 2, 2016One of the coolest places in NYC! Come late so you can catch the sunset and end up in Chelsea Market for some of the best food around!
William StudartMay 24, 2016Very nice path, the idea of planting in the unused train line is very good and it's a great place to walk, sunbathe, relax
Relaxing, happening, crowded place, however we love it
Oscar Medina Garcia1 week agoCaminarlo es lo máximo, compra algo en Chelsea market y cómetelo aquí. Súper bien integrado a las vías del tren.

Carlos DuarteFebruary 4Construído em uma espécie de mesanino, o parque muito charmoso e bem cuidado, traz uma atmosfera diferente para o descolado bairro de Chelsea. Um ótimo lugar para passear e relaxar
Andrey FantamazJanuary 15Переоцененная достопримечательность, прогулятся на один раз, просто чтобы там побывать
José Ángel GonzálezJanuary 12Casi cuatro kilómetros de una extinta vía de ferrocarril, recuperados para admirar desde las alturas la ciudad.
Thiago GuingoDecember 13, 2016Muito legal a maneira Como aproveitaram uma linha desativada de trens transformando-a em um parque interessantíssimo! Bom para um passeio com tempo bom.
Bruno PaivaNovember 29, 2016É um parque que foi montado no lugar se um trilho de trem. Passa entre uns prédios, vale a experiência! À vista das ruas e espetacular!
Marina Sant'AnnaOctober 19, 2016Lugar muito agradável e importante solução urbanística. Senti como a Cidade rendendo homenagem a seu generoso Rio Hudson. 💕
Es una idea de cono piensa NY y como hacer lo mejor de lo que hay!
🇫🇷 - Une peu de verdure dans cette jungle urbaine !
