Explanation:

The user wants to identify a recent major park in New York City from the given options. I will evaluate each option based on its location and historical timeline.

• High Line: An elevated linear park, greenway, and rail trail created on a former New York Central Railroad spur on the west side of Manhattan. It opened in phases starting in 2009, making it a highly prominent recent major park in New York City.
• The 606: A linear park and trail network in Chicago, Illinois, not New York City.
• Central Park: A historic urban park in Manhattan, New York City, established in 1858 and completed in 1876. It is not "recent."
• Prospect Park: A historic public park in Brooklyn, New York City, opened in 1867. It is not "recent."
