Green Corridor through the city

The hanging park is built on a former railway line that runs at about 7-10 metres above street level. The High Line Park currently measures 2,300 metres and opened in 2011, with a width of around 10 metres along its length.

In some parts the old rails have been deliberately left in place, with a variety of greenery planted between them, while in others new spaces have been created with benches, a beautiful lawn and flower beds.

Admission and opening hours

The High Line is a public park and therefore free to visit.

It opens at 7am and is open late into the evening most of the year until 10-11pm, closing at 7pm in winter.
