Park lovers now have their own underground movement.
Welcome to The Lowline — the world’s first subterranean green space — which will sit one story below Delancey St.
The full park will eventually comprise three city blocks in an
abandoned trolley terminal, but the first phase — the Lowline Lab —
opens this weekend in the former Essex Fair Retail Market
warehouse to test how the public will react to indoor green space and
to show off solar technology that lights the space and supports 3,500
plants such as ferns and pineapples.
