Disappointing.
The
Goods
Line
was
listed
as
one
of
the
top
5
walks
in
Sydney,
but
I
don’t
understand
what
all
the
hype
is
about.
As
a
historic
and
cultural
site,
it’s
interesting,
but
when
I
visited,
it
appeared
inadequately
maintained
and
poorly
designed
with
wide
open,
underutilized
concrete
paths
and
limited
options
for
sitting
and
relaxing.
There
were
few,
if
any,
shaded
spots
to
sit,
no
views
worth
mentioning,
and
nothing
visually
interesting
(art,
sculpture,
etc)
along
the
walkway.
It’s
been
compared
to
the
High
Line
in
New
York,
but
it
doesn’t
look
or
feel
anything
like
that
space—the
High
Line
is
much
more
of
a
pedestrian
boardwalk,
well
integrated
into
the
city
and
much
more
inviting.
The
Goods
Line,
unfortunately,
seems
to
lack
a
cohesive
aesthetic
and
appeared
to
be
past
its
prime.
There
were
homeless
people
camping
out
in
several
of
the
public
spaces
and
the
landscaping
seemed
neglected,
if
not
poorly
selected,
for
most
of
the
walk.
There
were
a
couple
of
spots—interestingly,
off
the
main
path—that
appeared
to
have
been
designed
a
little
better,
but
the
whole
thing
was
overall
underwhelming
and
a
big
disappointment.
Sadly,
not
worth
going
out
of
your
way
to
visit.
