High Line

Inspired by the Promenade Plantée in Paris, the aerial greenway is New York City's only elevated park and one of Manhattan's most popular destinations.

Cultivating an Airy Refuge

High Line

Beginning in 2005, an elevated section of a disused and antiquated New York Central Railroad spur on the Manhattan's West Side was reconstructed to serve as a public park. Visitors can stroll the one-and-a-half mile route and soak in views of the Manhattan skyline and Hudson River while enjoying art installations and public performance spaces that have sprung up along its route. Today, this unique park hosts as many as 60,000 visitors per day and is a hub of the city's outdoor culture.

High Line offers several initiatives to serve the community. High Line Fellows: Emerging Leaders Program offers paid, skills-building employment to local youth, Community First Toolkit is a digital planning guide that helps park organizations rectify racial inequities, and High Line Wellness is a series of mobility and wellness programs for seniors, and school partnerships in which High Line. In addition, High Line collaborates with local public school teachers on educational projects that incorporate art, horticulture, history, and public space.
