Lowline

The world's first underground park is coming, and it's scheduled to open in 2018.

It's called the Lowline, and it will be located in a historic trolley station in the Lower East Side of New York City.

The best part about the Lowline is that it will actually include natural sunlight, using reflectors and fiber optics to pipe sunlight below the ground's surface.

No, this isn't science fiction, it's happening, and it looks incredible.

Here's where the 116-year-old abandoned trolley terminal where the Lowline will be built.



Here's what the trolley terminal looked like in the 1930s. The terminal was officially closed in 1948.



When it's finished in 2018, the Lowline will turn that space into an underground park where people can meet and walk around.
