High Line opens to the public

The High Line was once an integral part of New York's transportation system, then in 1980 the trains stopped running. Now the High Line open once again -- this time as a public park. Section 1 of the High Line (from Gansevoort Street to 20th Street) is now giving visitors the chance to preview the park, which is still under construction.

Built in the 1930s, the High Line was part of a massive public-private infrastructure project called the West Side Improvement. In 1999, nearly 20 years after the last trains stopped running, Friend of the High Line formed to prevent the historic structure from being demolished. Thanks to their efforts the park is being completed, giving natives and visitors alike another green space to enjoy in the city.


NYC Limousine is the best way to get to The High Line, or any of the other great parks in the New York City area. We will be happy to arrange the transportation you need.
