You've heard of the New York Highline Park—But have you heard of the Lowline?

You've heard of the New York Highline Park—But have you heard of the Lowline?

New York City is not known for having a lot of extra space. So good things sometimes happen in odd places.




That's why the Highline park, built on an old elevated train platform in the Meatpacking district of Manhattan's West Side, became such a hit.




And now a variation on unused space may get the park treatment as well. But this time it's underground.




The founders of the park plan, architect James Ramsey and Dan Barasch, have built a full-scale model of what they're calling the Lowline, a park in an abandoned subway station below Delancey Street.




To give New Yorkers a sense of what a subterranean play area would be like, the co-founders raised $155,000 so New Yorkers could try it out.
