Take a walk in the park with Street View

Whether you're planning a trip to a park around the block or around the world, you'll now find more parks showing up in Street View. Over the past year, the Street View team, equipped with the Street View trike, traveled to 22 different countries to photograph some of the world's most beautiful and unique parks. Starting today, you can explore the couple hundred new special collections we've added by visiting our gallery.

You can now tour High Line, which sits 30 feet in the air, over the bustling streets of New York City. The park sits on an elevated freight train spur that spans 1.5 miles and cuts through the western side of Manhattan. Because of Robert Hammond and Joshua David's efforts, visitors can experience an innovative park that would have otherwise been a demolished urban structure.
