High Line Park

It's a wonderful promenade but old people. people on skate/surf boards, and young kids may fall on the uneven surface. 

It's beautiful at night but even more dangerous then for misteps. 

But the flower pots in the railway tracks were a great idea and there are wooden sun chaize lounges to sit outside in your bathing suit with a view of the water -- even if you would never ever swim in that water.

The park needs to allow for dogs and it would be cool to have street musicians play music (one man bands) hip hop break dancers (hard because of the slanted floor design) 

But one HUGE PERK... The architecture that surrounds the area. I want to do more research but at one point you look from left to right and it looks like a study in contemporary buildings famous around the globe.

In fact, I saw several art classes filled with young students, mostly girls, sitting on benches and sketching city street views. What a cool new park that has potential to get so much cooler if the people living in the almost constructed buildings that cut directly into the park doesn't stand in the way.. Soon to see....
