SUBTERRANEAN PARADISE: An undated artist's rendering showing a deep underground park that could be created in a 116-year-old abandoned trolley terminal below the Lower East Side. For this project-in-the-works, the latest solar technology will illuminate the subterranean space, filtering the sun via a collector at street level.
New York City, famed for being a concrete jungle, could become the world’s first city to build an underground park complete with grass, trees, park benches, and sunlight.
Inspired by the city’s High Line, an elevated rail line that was transformed into a public park in Manhattan’s West Side, a team of engineers and entrepreneurs are working to reclaim an abandoned underground trolley terminal on the Lower East Side and give New Yorkers a new green space that would harness the sunlight and redistribute it underground.
