High Line
In Manhattan's West Side, there is a public park called the High Line, which is operated by a non-profit organization and is available to the public. We are committed to reinventing public spaces' role in establishing connections, healthy neighborhoods, and cities via engagement with communities on and off the High Line.
The High Route, which was built on a historic elevated rail line, was always meant to be more than a park. All while taking in a unique viewpoint of New York City, you may take walks through gardens, see art, attend a performance, eat amazing cuisine, and interact with friends and neighbors.

Many people referred to the High Line as an unattractive eyesore during its decades of dormancy (Mayor Giuliani signed a demolition order, one of his last acts in office). However, only a handful of these critics knew what had taken over the building in secret: a flourishing garden of wild plants. Friends of the High Line, a non-profit conservation organization founded by Joshua David and Robert Hammond in reaction to the beauty of this hidden terrain, campaigns for its preservation and reuse as a public park. Friends of the High Line, which is supported entirely by supporters, continues to be the only organization in charge of the upkeep and management of the High Line.
The High Line has been transformed into a single, continuous 1.45-mile-long greenway with more than 500 different plant and tree species. With the support of the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, Friends of the High Line is in charge of the upkeep, operation, and programming of the park. Additionally, the High Line is home to a varied range of public activities, including community and adolescent engagement opportunities, as well as world-class artwork and performances that are available to the public for no charge.
The High Line is open on a daily basis, and COVID-related protections have been put in place. Reduced capacity and urging visitors to wear a mask or face covering are two examples of actions that may be taken to provide a better and safer visitor and staff experience. Learn more
The hours of operation for the High Line vary depending on the season:
There are elevators at Gansevoort Street, 14th Street, 23rd Street, and 30th Street if you have mobility issues or need to go up and down the stairs. In addition, a second entrance to the park is accessible via Hudson Yards, located near 30th Street.
Join for a free tour of the High Line guided by High Line Docents, expert volunteer guides who will provide you with an insider's perspective on the park's history, architecture, and scenery. Call the park at 212-500-6035 to make arrangements.
