About
Kiired faktid: More than 500 species of grasses, perennials, and shrubs now thrive along an elevated former rail corridor, offering a parade of color and scent as seasons shift. Rotating public art, pop-up food carts, and year-round programming draw roughly eight million visitors every year, so even quiet mornings feel alive.
Tipphetked: A 1.45-mile linear path winds above street level, where you can press your palm to warm, weathered steel railings and catch unexpected views framed by wildflower swaths and rusted tracks. Locals quietly celebrate an odd little tradition of scavenger hunts that hide numbered brass tags throughout the plantings, collectors reporting they often find 15 to 30 tags per season while learning plant names by touch and scent.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable walking shoes, surfaces include boardwalk, stone and metal gratings.
- Start at Gansevoort Street for sunset views over the Hudson, or West 23rd for great skyline photos.
- Visit on weekdays or early mornings to avoid crowds and enjoy quieter seating areas.
- Skip peak weekend hours near Chelsea Market if you want calmer stretches and cleaner photo backgrounds.
