Introduction

New York City has transformed its parks into unique and distinctive spaces through its innovative and creative designs. This 1.45-mile-long elevated park was once a freight railway line that was abandoned for almost a quarter of a century before re-opening as a park in 2009. Today, it is covered by lush and colorful vegetation. Visitors can stroll along narrow pathways while admiring the magnificent views of the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline, and experiencing the beauty of nature. The park's design was inspired by the wildflowers along the railway tracks, which also became a part of the entire park. Furthermore, the entire elevated park is wheelchair accessible, making it a model for reusing infrastructure, exploring creative designs, and putting them into practice.
