You are standing in front of a 1.45 mile long elevated section of a no longer used railroad spur. In the middle of the last century elevated spurs of the metro seemed to be a great accomplishment of engineering progress. But as time went on and the elevated spurs grew old, it was closed. With time the abandoned elevated began to rust and was threatened with destruction. Then local groups organized a group who took an active participation in its resurrection. But the resurrection was unusual. The old elevated railroad spur was turned into an attractive suspended park, 1.6 km long. At a height of 10 meters there are green lawns, rest areas with chaise lounges, and floral compositions.Walk through the park - you will have an unforgettable experience.With this we conclude this excursion. Thank you for having used our audio-guide.Farewell, until we meet again.Photo High Line Park - New York City - July 09 by David Berkowitz is licensed under CC BY 2.0
