Fifteen cool things you should know about The High Line -- It's finally opening mid-June!
#12 There’s a forest.
Dubbed the Gansevoort Woodland, the southern section between Gansevoort and Little West 12th Streets is more heavily planted than the rest of the park. That spot was chosen because of the way the line curves at that point, providing people on the street and up top with a peek at the greenery to come. “We wanted there to be a dramatic presence of foliage in that location because it kid of beckons,” David says. “It sort of pulls you and makes you want to go into that entrance, because you see all of this lush greenery on top of this heavy industrial structure.”
A woodland??? Yay!
