Iconic High Line Park in NYC Opens Final Section To Public

NYC's most loved and iconic elevated park is finally complete! The third and final section of the High Line, aptly named The High Line at the Yards, is a verdant retreat incorporating real elements of its once standing original railway, as well as native flora and fauna.
