<P> The park is built on the disused southern viaduct section of a New York Central Railroad line called the West Side Line . Originating in the Lower West Side of Manhattan , the park runs from Gansevoort Street -- three blocks below 14th Street -- in the Meatpacking District , through Chelsea , to the northern edge of the West Side Yard on 34th Street near the Javits Center . Formerly , the West Side Line went as far south as a railroad terminal at Spring Street , just north of Canal Street . However , most of the southern section was demolished in 1960 , with another small portion being demolished in 1991 . </P>
